Patricia A. Aguilera, 75, of Gladstone MO, passed away peacefully with her husband and daughters by her side on Sunday Feb. 12, 2017. Her family will celebrate her life with a private Mass and burial.

Patty was born July 31, 1941 in Kansas City, MO. She grew up in the heart of Kansas City, MO and attended Redemptorist High School. She began her family and raised her four daughters in Kansas City, KS before settling in Gladstone with her husband, Frank.
