Patricia Elsie Monda

Patricia is survived by her beloved husband, Lewis Monda; her daughters, Debbie Mannhalter (Rick Mannhalter), Susan Seeley (Rob Seeley), Julianne Odell, and Shari Cutler (Paul Cutler); and her cherished grandchildren, Ramiro Ceja (Sam Nelson), Cameron Cutler (Christi Cutler), Nicholas Mannhalter, Emily Cutler-Williams (Matt Williams), Neil Morris, Samantha Seeley, McKenzie Cutler, and Trisha Morris; as well as her great-grandson, Rowyn Ceja.

She is also lovingly remembered by Mike Monda (Kathy Monda), Linda Peca (Don Peca), Joseph Monda (Debbie Monda), and Jacqueline Murray (Craig Murray); along with grandchildren Amber Stephen and Ayla Ward, and great-grandchildren Levi, Ruby, and Nina Ward.

Patricia had a deep love for the culinary arts, photography, entertaining, and traveling, but above all, she treasured time spent with her family and friends. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of Washington in 1959 and remained proud of her lifelong connection to the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority.

Her professional life reflected her passion for nourishing and caring for others. From 1982 to 1998, she led Meals on Wheels in Sacramento and served as Director of Dining Services at both the University of the Pacific in Stockton and Mills College in Oakland, where she made a lasting impact on the communities and students she served.

Patricia will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and the way she brought people together. Whether through a thoughtfully prepared meal, a welcoming home, or a kind word, she had a gift for making others feel cared for and valued. Her laughter, strength, and unwavering love for her family created a legacy that will live on in all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of those who loved her.
