Patsy married Mark Giddings on May 28, 2005. They have five children and fifteen grandchildren, and now reside in Cookeville, TN. Because of Patsy and Mark's love for children and due to the severe child abuse Patsy suffered as a child, they soon became foster parents, doing this for two years, before becoming volunteer court appointed special advocates (CASA). Their passion runs deep and personal in a determination to help abused children. It is the reason that she and Mark became CASA Volunteers. It is also the reason she went on to become a voice of advocacy, giving public lectures to bring awareness of the desperate need existing in modern day America, to protect our children. But in her lectures, Patsy explains how her dependence on God was lifesaving, as she struggled to live through one nightmare after another and the important lessons it holds about the meaning and purpose of our lives. She is committed to increasing awareness of God's presence, love and grace and tells how God brought her to where she is today - saved, rescued, and at peace. These are some of the places that she has attended as a CASA spokesperson: Attended Child Advocacy Days in Nashville, Tennessee. Patsy spoke with Senator Charlotte Burks about the CASA program and the need to protect adopted children. Patsy also gave Senator Burks a copy of 'Sandy's Miracle' March 2012 and 2013.
