Patricia Beth Moreno

On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Patricia Beth Moreno passed peacefully surrounded by the love of her daughter, son-in-law, mother, and siblings. Born and raised in Yuma, Arizona, Patricia, “Trish” to her friends and “Punky” to her family, graduated from Cibola High School in 1992. She was married shortly after high school and welcomed her sweet baby girl in Yuma in 1994. She and her husband eventually relocated to his hometown in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she lived for many years and spent most of her life working as a recruiter for an engineering firm. Punky made the decision to return to Arizona in August 2025 to spend the last weeks of her life in the desert she loved with her family where she was her typical firecracker self through the end.

Punky is survived by her daughter, Samantha Kaczor, son-in-law, Cory Kaczor, and grandson, Colson Kaczor; her mother Victoria Moreno; siblings Terry Moreno Jr. (Jean Moreno), Steven Moreno (Lori Franco), and Jacqueline McNatt (Sean McNatt); nephews Andrew Moreno (Karly Moreno), Nickolas Moreno (Jasmine Moreno), Isaac Moreno, Donoven McNatt, and Connor McNatt; niece Isabella Moreno; great nephew Dawson Moreno; great niece Kalliope Moreno; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Punky was preceded in death by her father, Terry Moreno Sr., and her grandparents.

Punky’s wishes were to pass privately with her immediate family and to be cremated with no services. If you wish to honor her memory, please make a charitable donation in her name to an organization that is meaningful to you and your family.
