With immense sorrow the family of Patricia Elizondo Stecher announce her passing on November 4th 2023 at the age of 58 in Phoenix, Arizona. Patty was born on April 20th, 1965 to Roberto and Gloria Elizondo in Phoenix, Arizona and grew up with 2 sisters and 7 brothers in Avondale, Arizona. At a young age, Patty became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After graduating from Agua Fria High School, Patty earned a degree in Architectural Drafting, and enjoyed a long career in engineering and planning for commercial buildings and housing where she made countless friends – she loved people. Patty married her husband Glen in April of 2005 and they were blessed with their wonderful daughter Juliana in December of 2006.
Family and Faith constituted the bedrock of Patty’s life and she remained actively involved with her parents, siblings, and church. She was Dad’s favorite among the children and then in adulthood, Aunt Patty was a favorite to many of her nieces and nephews. As a young adult, she served a mission in Massachusetts. Patty enriched the lives of innumerable people and her legacy of genuine kindness and service prevails through those whose lives she touched.
Beneath the surface Patty possessed an inherent toughness galvanized by Faith and strength from those who loved her. A passionate woman who loved uncompromisingly, she championed God, family, love, charity, selflessness, and sincerity. Patty embraced unbridled fun as freely and naturally as children do. Patty has a youthful spirit; she laughed joyfully, loved hard, and bared her heart. Her life was well lived.
Patty is survived by her husband, Glen and their daughter Juliana, her sisters Alejandra Walker and Aida Elizondo, brothers Robert, Carlos, Antonio, Jesus, Marcos, and Juan Elizondo as well as many nieces, nephews, and other extended family that are too numerous to mention.
A memorial service for Patty will be held at 11:30 am on November 13th, 2023 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 11650 N 35th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85029. Those who wish to honor Patty’s life are encouraged to make donations in her name to HALO Animal Rescue or the Arizona Humane Society.
