Patsy Resendez Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Phipps-Dale Funeral Chapel - Lemoore on Jan. 23, 2026.
Patsy Resendez, lovingly known as P'ooyats', meaning "Whirlwind" in her Native American language, passed away peacefully surrounded by love. True to her name, Patsy moved through life with energy, warmth, and a spirit that touched everyone she met.

Patsy was a woman of quiet strength and deep resilience. Though she carried hidden scars, she faced life with grace, courage, and an unwavering heart. She was a joyful soul who loved to socialize, laugh, and bring people together. Wherever she went, her smile and presence lit up the room.

She had a special love for dancing-moving freely, expressing joy, and celebrating life through motion. Dancing was one of the many ways she shared her vibrant spirit with others. Patsy found happiness in simple moments, meaningful conversations, and being surrounded by family and friends.

To those who knew her, Patsy was more than a grandmother, mother, aunt, or friend-she was a source of comfort, wisdom, and joy. Her laughter, kindness, and loving nature will be deeply missed but forever remembered.

Patsy's whirlwind spirit lives on in the hearts of all who loved her. Her legacy is one of love, strength, community, and joy.

She is survived by her loving family and many friends who will continue to honor her life and memory.
