Obituary
The world lost a little bit of its luster when Patti Jean (Price) Truttman passed away at home surrounded by her family on the afternoon of December 27, 2022. She was born to Gary “Johnny” and Millie Price on February 24, 1949. She spent her childhood in Yreka and Montague and met the love of her life, Carl Truttman, as a teenager. Carl and Patti were married on August 7, 1965 and for the next 57 years they made their home in Grenada. They raised their three children, Carla, Shannon and Jason, and created a home that was the central location of countless family gatherings, holiday meals and birthday celebrations. Patti’s yard was always a sense of pride from the first bloom of daffodils in the Spring, followed by the arrival of peonies, petunias, snapdragons, zinnias and roses. Adding to the depth of beauty Patti worked so hard to create and maintain were dogwoods, birches and Japanese maples which sheltered the yellow finches, robins, doves and an occasional owl or woodpecker. This outward show of beauty was truly a reflection of Patti’s inner beauty which she shared generously with everyone.
