Patricia Pearce

July 13, 1929 - Nov. 14, 2012

Ceres, CA

Pat was a loving and devoted wife of 65 years to Ed Pearce, an adoring mother to Christy (Phil) Dowden, Ed (Diana Guzman) Pearce, Carey (Kathi) Pearce, Robert (JoAnn) Pearce, Caron Pearce and Nanci Pearce; proud grandmother to Scott, Megan, Jayson and Joshua , and great- grandmother to Allyson, Christopher, Caitlyn and Cayleb.

After being recently diagnosed with liver disease, Pat succumbed to God’s will, surrounded by family, with a loving and open heart.

Pat was born in San Francisco, CA and moved to Hollister, CA in her late teens where she met and later married Ed in 1947. They owned a successful bookkeeping and tax service company for many years in Salinas, CA. Pat juggled both a career and motherhood as if it was effortless. She never missed any of her children’s functions and always put her family first. Pat cherished every moment shared with her family.

A devote Catholic, Pat was ready to meet God and found peace in knowing she would. Her only concern in the end was that her family would accept her time to leave and would rejoice her path to heaven. She will be missed and celebrated in our hearts every day.

A mass and celebration to honor her life will take place Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 10:30 AM at Madonna Del Sasso Catholic Church, 320 E. Laurel Drive, Salinas, CA 93901. Please contact Caron Pearce at (831) 905-4137 for details
