Patricia Watford is a native of Hertford County, North Carolina. She is the youngest of seven siblings and one living parent. Patricia graduated from Bertie High School and later received a Certificate in Accounting and an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science at Roanoke Chowan Community College, Ahoskie, North Carolina. Diagnosed with diabetes at the early age of seven, she lived a practically normal life before experiencing major symptoms. At the age of thirty-one, her eyesight failed and she was declared legally blind. Also at that age, her kidneys failed, committing her to receiving dialysis treatments three times a week. Because of her diligent prayer while on dialysis, God restored her sight. A year later, God miraculously open the door to a kidney/pancreas transplant. Patricia was on the transplant waiting list for only four days. Standing on the promises of God throughout her years of sickness led to Patricia hearing directly from God these words “Thy Faith Has Made Thee Whole” Mark 5:31
