Mrs. Patricia Eloise Recio's Obituary
In life she was a character, once you met her you would never forget her. She had a smile that would shine through her eyes and light up a room. She never met a stranger, she would start a conversation with anyone, usually walking away leaving a smile behind. She was one to stop and help someone in need, even when she did not have much to offer herself. She spoke her mind no matter how crazy or absurd it seemed, if you did not like it that was your problem, not hers. There are stories aplenty of her wild and free teenage years, she lived life on her own terms. Uncountable memories of her child rearing days. She was a hard working mom, she might not have always given us everything we wanted, but she made sure we had what we needed. She was tough, a woman intent on instilling morals and values in her children. She knew that through her children she would live on even after her death. She lived her later years much like that of her younger years, wild and free. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt. She was deeply loved and will be truly missed, gone but never forgotten. Preceded in death by her parents John Edward Neitman II and Joe Ann Neitman Reed, Brother John Edward Neitman III, and great granddaughter Lexi Raye Ann. She is survived by her Sister Alta Armstrong (Adam), Brother Edward Schoppe (Jainie), Sister Tina Brown (Randy) and a multitude of nieces and nephews. She leaves behind 5 children, 28 grandchildren and two great granddaughters* with one more on the way.
