Patrica Valenzuela was a loving mother, daughter, fiance, sister and nana. She was always so full of life, even when the world didn't let her. She loved music, a good drink, anything that shined and most of all her family, Her whole world revolved around her daughters and son. The moment she became a nana for the first time she spoiled every one of her grand kids and made sure they knew how much she loved all 9 of them! Patricia aka Patty was only 52, Her youngest child is 22 and her youngest grandchild just turned 1. She had her whole life ahead of her.. On July 28th at 1 am Patty woke up with a very swollen tongue, knew right away something was wrong and went to her front porch to call 911, she didn't want to wake her fiance and grandson sleeping inside. Patty then stopped breathing by the time the EMT arrived and was needed to be resuscitated. She was without oxygen for some time, rushed to ICU and unfortunately was on life support within the next day. Her kids rushed from out of town from all around AZ to be by her side patiently waiting for days to know her fate. We got the worst news Monday morning that Patty's lack of oxygen during that time had damaged her brain completely and would not walk out of the hospital ever again, she would need to remain hooked up on the breathing tube and would not think, speak, see, or function again... Her 5 children had to then decide whether to leave her in that state or let her go... knowing her wish we knew shed always tell us not to let her become that way and to let her go. Patricia was in fact an organ donor which goes to show how much she always wanted to give, she would give you the shoes off her feet even if it was the last pair. She literally would make sure everyone ate before her when food was running low shed settle for anything else as long as everyone else was fed. On weds Aug 1st Patricia would be taken off of the ventilators, she fought for 8 hours before taking her last breath. With her kids right by her side.. No one was really ready for this and realistically no one really would be, But we are asking for donations to help pay for her funeral and service. Help us pay it forward like Patricia would for really anyone who needed it.
