Patricia Denise Tighe

Patricia Denise Tighe, 71 of Stockton, California, passed away on August 23, 2022.

Patricia Denise "Williams" Tighe was born on April 28, 1951, in Daly City, California, and moved to San Francisco with her mother Iva Irene, father Louis, sister Dianna, and brother Dean. Patty lived in San Francisco until she was 25 years old when she moved to Brisbane, California with her daughter Alisha Reynoso.

While living in Brisbane, she met Kenneth Tighe at the nightclub "Shipwreck Kelly's." They became friends through their love of dancing and fun-filled lifestyles. One year later they started dating. Before they were married Pat and Ken moved to Fremont, California. On March 17, 1979, Ken and Pat married in a rainbow, disco wedding that no one has forgotten since.

The next year, they had their second daughter Susan Tighe-Tiedeman followed by a son, Kenneth "John" Tighe II. Five years later, Patricia and Ken had their last child Darin Tighe.

In 1996, Patricia created the "Lumley-Cook Family Reunion" so that her mother could see her remaining brothers and sisters. We have held these reunions every other year until the pandemic. Pat enjoyed careers working for Mexicana Airlines, as a teacher at a Business College, & as a realtor for Century 21.

Pat, Ken, and the family relocated to Stockton, California in 2000. She moved with the hope that all her children would be able to own a home and remain close. Once she lived in Stockton, she and Ken joined the Stockton Yacht Club where she loved dancing, boating, and throwing events. Three years ago, Pat joined the Village West Yacht Club where she continued to love life. Her favorite things to do were to be with her family, dance, go on cruises, bake, throw parties, travel, and live life to the fullest.

Patricia is remembered and missed by her husband Ken Tighe; daughters Alisha Reynoso (Jason) and Susan Tighe-Tiedeman (Matt); son Darin Tighe; her grandchildren Jakob Heston, Marcela Reynoso, Diana Reynoso, Dario Reynoso, Tristin Wiley Reynoso, and Ruben Reynoso; and her great-grandchildren Theresa, Sophia, and Adrian; along with many friends and family. Preceded in death by her father Louis Williams, mother Iva Irene "Lumley" Van Noy, stepfather John Van Noy, sister Dianna Fraser, and her son Kenneth "John" Tighe II.
