Patricia Ann Buffin

Author of faith! to Thee I lift
My weary, longing eyes;
Oh, let me now receive that gift!
My soul without it dies...

It is with utmost humility and deference to the divine that we announce the transition of Patricia Ann Buffin. On Friday, October 31, 2025, she gracefully answered the master's call, bidding farewell to this mortal realm and embarking upon her eternal journey.

Ms. Patricia Ann Buffin, better known as “Tricia Ann,” was born on October 24, 1967. She was welcomed into the world by her parents, Louvenia Buffin and Willie C. Pierce.

At an early age, Tricia Ann accepted the Lord as her Savior. Later in life, she became affiliated with Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church.

Tricia Ann was educated in the public schools of Terrell County. She graduated from Terrell High School with the class of 1985.

A sweet, loving person, Tricia Ann loved people and she was a stranger to no one. Her love was a heartfelt love that warmed your heart. She will be truly missed.

On October 31, 2025, at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, God called Tricia Ann home. She is preceded in death by her parents; her grandparents, Christine Jackson Buffin and Lewis Buffin; her brother, Willie Lewis Buffin; and her sister, Carolyn Denise Wilson.

Tricia Ann leaves behind her loving, sweet daughter Kimberly Harvey of Dawson, GA; her nephew Janorris Buffin of Dawson, GA; and a niece, Johnisha Wilson of Augusta, GA; two brothers, Willie C. Pierce, Jr., and Wayne Pierce; her sister Barbara Pierce; a special friend Timothy Hodge; and a host of other relatives and friends. A special thanks goes to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital and Dawson EMS.
