Patricia Ann Trujillo

Patricia Ann Trujillo, 71, of Moses Lake passed away unexpectedly Sept. 9, 2022, at the hospital in Wenatchee, halfway through her first round of chemo and radiation.

Patti grew up in Minnesota then moved to Moses Lake in 2000. Patti worked at Columbia Basin Herald for the last 21 years. When she wasn’t working she was spending time with family or friends, playing cribbage, having a barbecue or getting a Dairy Queen Blizzard.

Patti had some health issues but in July 2022 she found out she had lung cancer. She was terrified because she had seen her own daughter fight and lose a battle to cancer in 2005, but she was determined and ready to fight. Sadly, her heart just wasn’t strong enough.

Patti was such a strong, beautiful, sweet woman. She always knew just what to say and could always put a smile on your face. Her heart was so big and she loved so many people. She will be deeply missed and always remembered

Patti entered the gates of heaven greeted by her parents Harrison and Rosemary, her husband Jesse and her daughter Kimberly. She leaves behind her sons Kevin and Mike; her daughters Sara, Heather and Christy; her grandkids Summer, Autumn, Dylan, Scott, Braxton, Jaxson and Phoneyx, Jake and Seth; her great-grandkids Carter, Avery, Addileigh and Kimberly and a bunch of family and friends who loved her so much.

Patti was cremated on Sept. 14, 2022, and a celebration of life barbecue will be held in her honor at Montlake Park in Moses Lake on Oct. 1, 2022 at 12 p.m. We welcome everyone who loved and cherished Patti to join us for lunch.
