Patricia Garnica
Obituary
It is with great sorrow that the family of Patricia Garnica announces her passing on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021. Patricia (Patty) was a caring mother, noni, daughter, sister and friend. She transitioned peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.
Patty was born in King City, Calif., on Aug. 2, 1958 to Raymond and Olivia Garnica. She graduated from King City High School and attended Hartnell college before embarking in her career which included various positions ranging from medical records, administrative supervisor and a 30-year tenure with CA Dept. of Corrections, retiring in 2018.
Patty will always be remembered for her kind and generous spirit. She devoted her life to ensuring the needs of her family were taken care of, especially those of her mother. She enjoyed traveling, celebrating all birthdays and holidays and shopping for antiques, Converse tennis shoes, purses, and Las Vegas Raider merchandise (a true Raider mom & sister). Words cannot express how much she will be missed.
Family remaining to cherish Patty's memory include her mother, Olivia Garnica; sons Jorge Ruelas Jr, and Anthony Gonzales; grandchildren, Jordan Ruelas and Julissa Ruelas; brother, Steve Garnica; and sister, Joan (Lance) Blue. She was preceded in death by her father, Raymond Garnica.
No funeral service is immediately planned. Family will notify loved ones of a celebration of life to be scheduled at a future date.
"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done."
