Patricia Brewer

Patricia was born to Margaret and Christopher Fleming in Newport, Rhode Island, on November 17, 1939. She is the oldest of five children, Christopher Fleming, Maureen Chorlton, Christeen Cantrell, and Richard Fleming (Donna). She called New England her home, but lived all over the world as the family traveled with her military father. While in Japan she met the love of her life, Ralph Elmer Brewer. At seventeen Patricia moved to Los Angeles to be with Ralph. In July 1957 Patricia and Ralph married, beginning a life together filled with family, love, and cherished memories. They were lucky to celebrate 54 years of marriage, prior to Ralph’s passing in 2011.

Patricia enjoyed taking care of others, her wooden spoon, reading, sewing, genealogy, puzzles, traveling to New England, but her favorite thing was spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. The beach was her happy place.

Patricia was a beloved wife, sister, aunt, cousin, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her greatest legacy is the family she leaves behind. Patricia was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph. She is survived by her children, Carrie Walker, Linda Ceballos (David), Katherine Gross, Michael Brewer (Laura), and Susan Tomerlin (Teddy), and she was the proud Grandma to thirteen grandchildren, the first 4 listed came to live with her as young children: Melody, Justin, Morgan, Charles, Steven, Erin, Warren, Emerson, Rebecca, Hanna, Brittany, Christopher, and Adam. She leaves behind twenty-two and a half (one coming in March) cherished great-grandchildren. Her love and the memories she’s left behind will be held close by all who were honored to know and love her.
