Patricia Gilmore Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jul. 12, 2025.
Patricia (Patti) Elaine Gilmore passed away on 7/7/2025 without pain as a result of long time COPD. She was born on 1/6/1944 in Gridley, CA at the Stork Retreat to Mick and Jessee Evans. Patti grew up in Richvale where she attended elementary school then continued on to graduate from Biggs High School. Her typing and shorthand skills of 100 words per minute led her into banking, followed by the medical field. She worked with many doctors in the Gridley Hospital before moving on to the Oroville Hospital. She worked there for over 30 years and ended as the medical staff secretary and coordinator of 156 doctors. After retirement, in 1989 she married Dan Gilmore and the adventures began. She loved traveling and for 33 years she was a snow-bird and would spend each winter in the Yuma Arizona area. This allowed her days to play golf with her Canadian friends and be with her husband Dan. In her travels she learned to drive their motor home in the snow, scuba dive and dance everywhere she went. She was such a classy lady. Dan and Patti spent 15 years in Ventura County before coming back to Butte County. She leaves behind her loving husband Dan, son Frank Terry (Monica), stepson Daniel Gilmore, JR (Janine) Lisa Danielle Gilmore, 10 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Patti was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved daughter Lisa Marie Terry, and her stepson David Vincent Gilmore. Patti always took care of and was giving for all her loved ones. She will be waiting for us. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 27th at 2:00 p.m. at The Moose Lodge in Gridley. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Patti's name at the Shriner's Children Hospital of Northern California 2425 Stockton Blvd. Sacramento, CA 95817
