She was 99. She was cremated in Elk Grove by Herberger funeral home, and her ashes were blessed by the Rev. Julito Orpilla of St.
Joseph Catholic Church in Elk Grove. Pat wanted a fun funeral, so we ask that people wear bright colors to her Mass and leave the black clothes at home. She loved hats of all types.
We encourage women and girls to sport their fashionable headwear at church in her honor. Mom is preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Mary Tutty, and her siblings, Marg Caldwell, Therese "Tess" Garabedian, and Tom Tutty. She is survived by her children, Ann (Ricardo Duran) of Elk Grove, Calif.
, Trish of Albuquerque, NM, and Mike (Kahealani) Hennessey of Guasti, Calif.; her granddaughter, Teresa-Maria Duran of Elk Grove, .
