Patti Williams was a professional wrestling valet in the 1980s best known as Precious.
Career
Patti Williams (born in 1955 in Ontario) started her wrestling career as the valet for her real-life husband (Jimmy Garvin) in World Class Championship Wrestling in 1983 under the name of Precious. She replaced his previous valet, Sunshine (Garvin's Cousin), causing a feud and many catfights in the ring between the two. She went with Garvin to the AWA and then to the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions. In the NWA, she was spanked on TV by Magnum T.A. in 1986 (right before his career-ending accident), hounded by Ric Flair in 1987 and stalked by Kevin Sullivan in 1988. Flair gave her gifts trying to woo her and when it didn't work, won a match with Garvin for a date with Precious. The Garvin family had Ron Garvin dress up as "Miss Atlanta Lively" to show up for the date instead, and he promptly dealt with Flair and his manager James J. Dillon. Sullivan kept saying he had something that she wanted to see on some papers or knew something she wanted to know. The mind games continued on until Garvin had his leg "broken" by Sullivan and Mike Rotunda and they had to leave TV for a while. Garvin returned without her in 1989 and she did make a brief appearance for him and Michael Hayes as the President of "Fabulous Freebirds, Inc." while they wrestled for WCW. Patti is now retired with Garvin and they have two daughters.
