Patricia "Miss Patti" D. Montaño
July 6, 1939 - June 29, 2015
Patricia "Miss Patti" Dolores Montaño, 75, of Flora Vista, passed away on Monday, June 29, 2015, in Farmington. She was born July 6, 1939, in Carlsbad, to Carl and Nelly Putman.
Patti was born, raised and graduated high school in Carlsbad. She became a hairdresser and relocated to Farmington, where she owned Miss Patti's Beauty Salon for more than 20 years. She was a very vibrant and active woman in the community. Back in the day she enjoyed working in her yard and tending to her yellow roses and lilacs; and she enjoyed watching all her birds. She was a great cook and made you eat as soon as you walked in the door, even if you were not hungry.... Especially green chile and beans. Patti was very strict and stern, and quite honest and outspoken, yet she loved "most" people unconditionally.
Mom, Sister, NaNa and Miss Patti will truly be missed!
Patti was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Nelly Putman; brother Shelby Putman; and her sister Lynda Hunziker. She is survived by her husband Joe Montaño; son Leonard (Patsy) Langlitz; daughter Patriskiki (Steve) Palmer and JoJo (Joseph) Gomez; special nieces, Vanessa, Misty, Shelby, and many additional nieces and nephews; her stepson Joe Pat and stepdaughter Lecia; grandchildren, Christopher, Shayna, Branden, Monty, Kinsey, Will, Courtn'e, Tracy, Olivia and Doug; and four great-grandchildren.
