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.
