Patricia Schulz Angell Mendez Moore
January 14, 1936 — October 14, 2015
Patricia Schulz Angell Mendez Moore, age 79, from Albuquerque, NM was wrapped in God's loving arms after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, surrounded by her loving family.
Patricia was born in Osage, IA on January 14, 1936 to Harold and Esther (Baker) Schulz. She grew up and attended school in Mitchell, IA. Her siblings included Marge, Ronnie, and Terry.
On June 22, 1952, Patricia was united in marriage to Mervel (Duke) Angell. To this union, five children were born, Merrill, Marsha, Mark, Kathy, and Laurie. They lived and worked in Osage and were engaged in farming. They were later divorced.
In June 1973, Patricia was united in marriage to Roberto Mendez in Muscatine, Iowa. They moved to Albuquerque and to this union, two children were born, Roberto and Amy. They were later divorced.
Patricia then went back to school to pursue a career in nursing and graduated as an RN. She spent her nursing career working at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, as a traveling nurse and as head nurse at Retarded Citizens Home. It was during that time that the career she loved was cut short due to a back injury.
On October 8, 1991, Patricia was united in marriage to Billy Moore in Las Vegas, NV. With this union, Patricia's family continued to grow to include Sharon, Bruce, Pam, Ahmad, Rashad, and Jamaal. Together, she and Billy fostered many children and eventually adopted into their loving home Brittany, Ashley, and Joseph.
Throughout the years, Patricia enjoyed breeding and raising poodles. You could always recognize her dogs as being the best dressed and groomed to perfection.
Patricia had many passions in her life but if you asked her what her greatest accomplishment was, she would most likely tell you it was her family; children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Left behind to cherish her memory are her husband of 24 years, Billy; son, Merrill (Rose) Angell of Riceville, IA, daughter, Marsha (Radar) Milton of Osage, IA, son, Mark of Albuquerque, NM, daughter, Kathy (John) Sink of Tucson, AZ, Robert (Berna) Mendez of Albuquerque, NM, Amy Murphy of Miamisburg, OH, Sharon (Tony) Norris of Katy, TX, Bruce Moore of Albuquerque, NM, Pam Moore of San Antonio, TX, Ahmad Moore of Albuquerque, NM, Rashad Moore of Las Vegas, NV, Jamaal Moore of Saratoga Springs, NY, Brittany, Ashley and Joseph at home in Albuquerque, NM; 20 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; sister, Marge Cabral of Napa, CA; brother, Terry (Linda) Schulz of Osage, IA, and multiple nieces and nephews.
Waiting to greet her in heaven are her parents, Harold Schulz and Esther Ruble; brother, Ronny Schulz; and precious daughter, Laurie Angell.
Funeral services will be held Monday, October 19, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at FRENCH - Westside with a reception to follow. Extended family and friends may begin to visit at 9:00 a.m.
