Patrocinia M. Gonzales, 99, widow of Jose Angel Gonzales, went to be with the Lord on November 30, 2023, at the Serving Faithfully Assisted Living in San Antonio, Texas. She was born on November 11, 1924, in San Antonio, Texas, a daughter of the late Fermina R. Martinez and Pablo R. Martinez.

Prior to her retirement she worked as a housekeeper for different clients in their homes and apartments for many years. Patrocinia dedicated her life to raising and caring for her children and three grandsons.
