Patricia Ann Padilla, fondly known to her mother as Patty and to her husband as Peaches, passed away peacefully of natural causes on June 17, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas, at the grand age of 90. Born on March 18, 1935, in St. Louis, Missouri, Patricia was the cherished daughter of Claire and Paul Immer and a beloved sister to her brother, Francis, and sister, Rosemary.

In 1956, Patricia married the love of her life, Anthony Padilla, DDS. Together, they moved from St. Louis to Shreveport, Louisiana and then in 1961, they moved to San Antonio, where they built a successful Dental practice. Patricia's role in the practice was instrumental, and her support was deeply valued by her husband until his passing.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Patricia was a talented artist whose vibrant oil paintings captured the beauty of landscapes, flowers, and whimsical clowns. Her creativity knew no bounds, as evidenced by the room-sized mural she lovingly painted in the living room of their first home. Additionally, Patricia enjoyed crafting ceramics and painting various objects, imbuing her surroundings with color and joy.

These delectable treats left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of tasting them and they became a cherished part of family traditions.

Her daughter, Angela, though passed, remains a vibrant memory in Patricia's heart. Patricia ensured that her family was central to her life, sharing precious moments and creating countless cherished memories along the way.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Anthony, her parents, Claire and Paul, and her siblings, Rosemary and Francis. Patricia leaves behind a legacy of love, creativity, and joy that will be fondly remembered by her children and all who knew her.
