Dearest Momma,

You started your journey on July 3, 1952 born to Millie and Dick Hoctor in Ellensburg, WA.  They welcomed you into an already large family of 3 brothers and 2 sisters.  A short time later, you became the big sister to the baby girl of the family.

You married Gilbert Breitenstein Jr in 1972 and moved to Spokane, WA. In 1975, you finally moved to Moses Lake, WA.  You played an active role in the lives of your three children and loved to be a part of scouts, school activities and church.  You also devoted 30 years of your life to working at Pronto/Carnation/Nestle/Simplot.  You met wonderful people at work and considered them your family away from home.  Your oldest son married and blessed you with two grandchildren to spoil.

Your journey ended on July 28th at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee,  surrounded by family, friends, and some of the best nurses you ever met. You are going to heaven to be reunited with your parents (Millie and Dick Hoctor) and numerous aunts and uncles.

There are so many more of us waiting to see you again.  You are survived by your:  children --  Eric (Autumn) Breitenstein, Patrick Breitenstein & Erin Breitenstein;  grandchildren-- Cole Breitenstein and Christian Willard;  siblings -- Rich (Shirlie) Hoctor, Robert (Jeanne) Hoctor, Tim (Kathleen) Hoctor, Judi (Leonard) Lyons, Angie (John) Hill, Kathy Hoctor, and Roxie and Danny McAtee; numerous nephews and nieces.

A celebration of your life will be held on Monday August 6 at the  Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Moses Lake.  The rosary service will start at 10:30 am and mass will start at 11:00 am.  Everyone is invited to celebrate your life.  There will be a luncheon reception after the mass at the Fatima Center. Friends can sign the online guestbook at www.kayserschapel.com   Kayser's Chapel is taking care of arrangements.

You are so many things. You are our mother, best friend, and inspiration.  And while the Lord has bigger and better plans for you, we will miss you every day.

All our love, always

~~Eric, Erin & Patrick~~
