Patricia Pojar-Durr
Resident of the Month
Patricia was born May 16, 1953, to Van & Velma
Durr. Patricia had 9 siblings, and Patricia was the
second youngest to Ronald, Christy, Wayne, Allen,
Margie, Bobby, Juanita, Rosalene, and Timmy.
Brothers Wayne and Timmy, and sister Christy
passed away within the last few years. Patricia’s
mother was a nurse. When Patricia was a teenager
she was very fortunate to get to work under her moth-
er. She learned many skills from her throughout the
years and they shared a lot of good times together.
Patricia went to school in Willard, Mo., and had a
career working for St. John’s Hospital in Springfield,
Mo., working in the bio medical laboratory doing
EEG and EKG tracings. She worked in all intensive
care units. One of the highlights in her life was the
birth of her two wonderful sons, Curtis and Chris. Curtis unfortunately passed away a few
months ago. The other highlight of her life is serving the Lord in such simplicity and
sweetness.
Patricia has such a soft heart and cares deeply for all people and animals. “Driving
down the road headed home from church I saw a German Shepard lying on the road that
someone had hit,” said Patricia. “I immediately stopped my car to pull over to see if I
could save the dog and remembered I had some anointing oil from Israel that someone
had given me. When I pulled over, a preacher from her church stopped to help, and a little
boy that lived close by also walked over. I knew that as badly hurt as the dog was I would
need something to put it on to be able to carry it to get it help. The little boy said that he
could run and get the board that he jumped his bike over to help so he did. I then asked the
little boy to put the anointing oil on the dog and pray for the dog with her. The preacher,
little boy, and myself then laid hands on the dog and prayed.” She thought it was so won-
derful that the little boy wanted to help the dog and they had all come together to do so.
“One night when I was headed home from a church meeting I noticed a cat in the road
where I turned to go to my house,” said Patricia. “It was a beautiful cat and I was worried
that it would get ran over, so when I got home I asked my son Chris if he would go back
with me and help move the cat to the side of the road. He is always so good to help me out
and agreed. When we got back, the cat was still there and I moved it off of the road to the
ditch. I later found out that this was our neighbors little girl’s cat and the little girl had
cried all night because her cat had ran away and she was worried something had hap-
pened.” The next morning, thanks to Patricia, the little girl found her cat sitting safely on
their porch.
Patricia joined our family at CMHCF in Aug. 2018. She said her favorite thing about
CMHCF is that the people are so loving and kind.
Congratulations, Patricia, on being chosen as CMHCF’s November Resident of the
Month.
