Patricia Josephine Musso

Patricia attended Roseville High School. She met her future husband, Vito Sam Musso at the bowling Alley across Atlantic Street from the high school.

Vito and Patricia were married on October 12th, 1956.

They built 2 homes on 2.5 country acres, one for them, and one for Vito’s parents, Sam and Elvira (Vera). This is where they raised their children, Julie, Lisa and Tony.

Vito was a Machinist at the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. Vito loved to hunt, and shoot skeet and trap.

Patricia was a Homemaker and enjoyed gardening, cooking, canning and sewing for her family.

They had a small micro-farm where they grew almonds that they sold to Blue Diamond Almonds, until Blue Diamond decided to not work with small farms. So after that, their 3 children ate plenty of almonds!

From the grape vineyard that was established by Vito’s Grandfather, Vito, Patricia, Sam and Vera continued the family wine-making tradition and shared it with their family and friends.

They enjoyed spending time with family and friends camping, gardening, and making big homemade meals.
