Patricia will be remembered as a loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, who loved life and her family. She was a strong willed, determined and very independent person. She also was a person who was always there to help with her Children and Grandchildren. Patricia had an awesome sense of humor, and was known by her friends and family for hilarious witty one liners. She was fun and quite often a bit mischievous. Patricia grew up in Gustine and took on every bit of the Portuguese Princess role. Patricia and her family grew up very involved in the local Festas. She was raised in the Catholic Church and more recently attended New Life Christian Center. Patricia always took pride in her appearance and loved shiny, sparkly everything. She especially liked wearing her sparkly jewelry that matched her particularly chosen outfit. You wouldn’t catch her outside ( even at her own house) not done up, lipstick and all! Patricia loved her garden, most of all her roses. She would often lose all track of time, distracted by the calmness and satisfaction gardening provided for her. Patricia loved decorating both inside and outside. She even got to the point she was not just decorating to correlate with holidays but even the seasons and took pride that her house decorations were admired by her neighbors and visitors. Patricia loved baking and was known for her cakes and fudge. Patricia loved music, her music taste was quite eccentric and ranged from worship music, oldies, rock and country to some rap and hip hop.
She will be missed by her Grandchildren, Jennifer Nunes, Erin Wurth and Ayden Nunes; Great Grandchildren Emily Wurth, Gauge Wurth, and Harley Rivera; Daughter in law Deborah Braz, and Sister in law ,Phyllis Pacheco. She was preceded in death by her Parents Tony and Emily Pacheco; Children , Daniel and Darren Nunes and Brother Richard Pacheco.
