Long Beach, California - Patricia Ann Puleo (Patti), was born in Yreka, California, to George and Wilhelmina Loosley on March 26, 1942 and passed away on April 24, 2022. Her devoted daughters were lovingly by her side. She had been living near her two daughters in Long Beach. Raised in East Sacramento, Patti attended Kit Carson Jr. High and Sacramento High School. In 1961 she met and married her first husband John Wilk. They had two daughters, Kerry and Kendra. Years later she worked at Pepsi Cola off of Mack Rd. And it was during this time that she met the love of her life, Joseph Puleo. Both being from East Sacramento, and having attended the same schools at the same time, and living within blocks of each other growing up, would not meet until their 40's. It was 1983. Joe and Patti were married in Reno, Nevada followed by a small church wedding in Folsom. This after dating for only three months! They were married for 34 years until Joe's passing in 2017. Patti and Joe had built a beautiful life together in El Dorado Hills. They were members of Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church in Folsom. They were part of the church's Social Club (formerly known as The Mr. and Mrs. Club). She loved singing and enjoyed being part of the choir. Patti and Joe had a large circle of friends. They loved going to parties and barb-b-ques, always attending weddings and get togethers on weekends. And they had fun dancing. They enjoyed traveling with their trailer, camping and fishing every year at "their spot" at Topaz Lake, a tradition adopted from her Aunt Mary and Uncle Bill. Patti loved her family and grandchildren. And just being with her Joe. Patti is survived by her daughters Kerry (John) Raptis, Kendra (Rick) Cramer, step daughter Sonja (Tony) Lindberg. Grandchildren: Costa Raptis, Alyssa Lindberg, Audrey Cramer, Adam Cramer and Jared Lindberg. And lovingly remembered, Joe and Patti's second grandson Anthony Joseph Lindberg, may his memory be eternal.
