A TRIBUTE TO
PATRICIA LOCKLEAR...

.hfjiany Barton, LKDA
PafaUc Relations Officer
Ever once in a long while
lomeone comes along and you
:an tell they are very special
because they seem to be in
perfect accord with their
uirroundings.
Patricia Locklear of Route
I, Red Springs was such a
person. She was a very loving,
mating, kind, compassionate
ind beautiful young lady who
3od seen fit to call home
lecause her work her on earth
vas finished. Her untimely
lemise occurred jfov. 20,
1981 due to a heart disease,
lad she lived until Jan. 13,
1981, she would have been 19
rears of age.
As early as the sixth grade,
Patricia's parents, Mr., and
Mrs. (Brenda) PerneO Lock
lear realized that their child
was exceptionally gifted in the
area of art. It was at this point
in her life that Patricia, with
her very pleasing demeanor,
hegan exhibiting her works of
?rt to the public. She continu
sd exhibiting her very gifted
ind talented works of art
throughout her life until her
?ntimely demise. In the pro
*ss, she won a number of
iwards for "her mastery of
practically every aspect of art;
ihe was equally as good at
pen and ink sketches as she
vas at oil paints.
Her most recent accomp
ishment was winning the
forth Carolina Dept. of Pub
ic Instruction Superinten
tent's Choice Art Exhibit,
iponsoted by the N.C. De
Mrtment of Education.

The Lumbee Kiver Native
American Center for the Arts
was established to provide
gifted and talented Indian
students, such as Patricia,
with culturally enriching lear
ning experiences in the areas
of music, dance, drama,
speech, creative writing and
visual arts. Visual arts in
structor is Ms. Delora Cum
in ings.
Patricia was a student of
Ms. Cummings at the LRDA
(Lumbee Regional Develop
ment Association, Inc.) spon
sored Lumbee River Native
American Center for the Arts.
She attended the Centr* for
the Arts for a year and a half. ??
With both ladies' love of art
serving as a common bond it
was only natural the two
became close friends.
Said Ms. Cummings, "Pa
tricia had two loves in her life.
The first was her boy friend,
Victor Hunt of Pembroke, who
she planned to marry around
Christmas time."Because of
her untimely demise, the
marriage failed to materialize.
"The other love in her
life," continued Ms. Cum
mings upon reflection, "was
art. She was very dedicated
and spent endless hours on
each project.
"Patricia was a very special
person,"-Ms. Cummings de
clared. "She was unlike many
young people of today who
seem somewhat unsure of
themselves and have no clear
cut aim or goal in life; Patricia
knew exactly what she wanted
out of life. She really enjoyed
what she was doing."

shewn far right.
Patricia signed each of her
works of art with the pen
name "Starshine." The love ,
and dedication she felt for art ?
is dearly reflected in her 1
labors of love. She w**l
extremely proud of her heri- J
tage. This is also clearly!
manifested in her works offl
art; most of her subject matter l
centered around her borne or!
her Indian heritage. J
Recently Patrida's parents 1
donated one of Patricia tl
favorite pen and ink sketches 1
to the Lumbee River Native I
American Center for the Arts. J
The drawing will be exhibited!
in the Native American Libra- 4
ry located at the old LRDAil
Annex Building. I
The drawing will serve as a J
touching and lasting testi-1
monv to the fact that Patn- i
cia's fruits and laoors of love 1
were not in vain. I
The following poem ap-1
pearing in a memorial folder I
best exemplifies this fact:'
Memories are one thing
death cannot steal. Death
leaves a heartache, only time
can heal. Some may forget her
now that she is gone. But we
will remember for no matter
how long.

Paul had many battles to
fight, but he still stood for
God.
These Jews band together
saying they would not eat or
drink until they had killed
Paul. His sister's son went
and told him what the Jews
were going to do- take his life.
Why can't we fast two days ?
for a lost soul to find Christ:
The greatest deliverance is
that of a soul set free from die
bondage of sin. .
David said "The Lord is my
strength and my shield. My
heart trusted in him and I am

Church, the Lord knows of
the dangers to which is people
are exposed and is able to
deliver them in time of
trouble.
We today must learn to
trust God more than ever.
Rev. Hammonds preached
for us Sunday. God moved in
a wonderful way. The Holy
Ghost was in church Sunday
and God's children were
blessed. We don't have a

spirit of God. We just praise
God far how he is blessing our
church services.
Sinners are shedding tears,
but we want them to give their
hearts to God. We have a

they will open their hearts and
let Jesus come in. He is soon
