Patricia was the true center of our family. She loved us all without question, was always there to listen, give advice, or have a good laugh. Her life was full of many accomplishments. She was in the Civil Air Patrol, rode bulls, was a Master Charge girl, became a Municipal Judge, worked at the New Mexico State Senate, was a Policewoman on the Pojoaque Reservation, but in her eyes her great accomplishment was her family. She showed us all what a mothers love should truly be. It should be unconditional, steady and always present. We will all miss you Munga till the end of time.
A Celebration of Life will be held September 21, 2024, in Devine, TX.
