Patsy's Story
After graduating from high school, I took a job with the federal government which lasted for 8 years off and on. I married Bill (Moore) Berry (who also went to Rio Linda High) in Sept. 1966. He was in the Navy, and I moved back and forth from Sacramento to Alameda when he was in Vietnam and the Mediterranean aboard ship. In 1971, we had our first child, a son, Eric. Our daughter, Carley, was born in 1974. We have moved around a bit, living for a brief time in southern California and a couple of years in Colusa. We ended up settling in Sacramento. Besides being a stay-at home mom, I have had many various jobs, most interesting as a dispatcher/matron for Colusa County Sheriff's Dept. and as a court clerk. In 1985, I started working as a legal secretary, and I am still doing that. Bill has been on disability retirement for about 5 years. He was stricken with a disease that destroys the nerves in the body, has lost all feeling in his feet and legs, and now, when he ...Expand for more
is away from home, he uses a wheelchair. Fortunately, he is still able to care for himself. A year and a half ago, I had colon cancer, for which I had surgery and chemotherapy. I was very sick and off work for over 9 months but am back at work now. In November, Bill had a heart attack and had quadruple bypass surgery. Fortunately, we are doing well despite these events. We are blessed to have each other, our children, and four beautiful grandchildren - identical twin granddaughters aged 12, a granddaughter aged 7 (our daughter's children) and a grandson aged 5 (our son's child). We also have a wonderful son-in-law, Pete, and a wonderful daughter-in-law, Carmen. I am also blessed to still have my three brothers and sister, and my mom. We have kept in touch with a few of our friends from high school. Louise (Bailey) Dibble is still like a sister to me. I see Nancy (Jackson) Schutz when she comes to visit her father. We see Ken and Liz Miller fairley often, too.
