Patricia "Patty" Lynn Moss

Patricia "Patty" Lynn Moss, age 58, passed away Friday, August 31, 2018. Patty was born on May 23, 1960 in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. She was the daughter of Jim and the late Marilyn Moss. Patty was the second oldest of six children; and is survived by her eldest sister Sue (Tom) Kreiner and her younger siblings; Linda (Carl) Metzger, Jeanne (Craig) Gibson, Tom (Anna) Moss, and Mary (Angelo) Rodriguez. Patty had thirteen nieces and thirteen nephews, all of whom she adored. Along with her love for her family and God, Patty loved nature and animals. Her two dogs, Jazz and Buddy were the apple of her eye and never left her side. Patty had a brave and adventurous spirit and joined the United States Army in her 20's where she became a Private. Due to her love of nature, mountains, and rivers, Patty headed out west to enjoy the beauty of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, where she spent many years admiring the landscape she so loved; she was truly a country girl at heart. Patty had a very kind heart and was generous, always wanting to give in any way she could. After moving back home to Michigan in 2016, she remembered her loving childhood and wanted to share the same joy she had with her nieces and nephews. She dressed up as Santa and gave the children a Christmas Eve they will always remember. She played the part so well, her beautiful heart shined brighter than all the lights in town. Patty will always be remembered as the prettiest little, blue-eyed, red-head with a smile that lit up the room when she walked in!

The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Mike Alber at 11:00 a.m., Friday, September 7, 2018 at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Portland. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church. Rite of Committal will take place at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery in Mims, Florida.
