Selah Leigh Patton

Selah Leigh Patton, born on February 8, 2025, at Catawba Valley Medical Center, peacefully passed away on the same day. Though her time here was brief, the impact she made in her short life resonated deeply with her family and loved ones who will cherish her memory forever.

Selah is survived by her devoted parents, Kandi Penland and Jacob Patton, who lovingly embraced her during her precious moments. She was surrounded by a caring and supportive extended family, including her paternal grandparents, Kenneth and Tina Patton, and her paternal grandmother Tammi McGee. Her maternal grandparents, Tim and Suzanne Penland, further exemplified the love that enveloped Selah.

The lineage continues with her paternal great-grandparents: Ken and Patsy Brown along with her paternal great-grandmother Joan Smith, and her maternal great-grandfather Jerry Penland. Selah is also remembered fondly by her uncles – Steven Penland (Ashley), Kenneth Patton Jr., and Robert Patton – as well as her loving aunt, Savannah Moffitt.

The visitation will be held at Bethel Baptist Church in Marion, North Carolina, on February 15, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at the same location at 2:00 PM. Rev. Dr. Eric Grindstaff will officiate the service. Burial will follow at the church cemetery.
