Pateman, 52, was remembered as a devoted mother to her triplets, Tyler, Cecelia, and Julia, according to a GoFundMe launched for the family’s expenses.

“You always knew she was just a phone call away if you needed to laugh, cry, or just vent. She loved her friends and family fiercely,” Boothe writes.
Funeral arrangements were pending.
