"A nurse is simply an ANGEL with invisible wings."
Patricia Ann Baird Hagstrom, 76, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully Monday, March 10, 2014 with her family by her side.

She graduated from Columbia High School ('55) and received her Nursing Degree from Saint Francis School of Nursing in Charleston, South Carolina and also attended the Medical University of South Carolina.

Walton Beach, Florida where they have been lifelong residents. She began her devoted nursing career at Ft. Walton Beach Hospital. She also practiced nursing at Magnolia Medical Clinic with Drs.
