Patricia was born in Hixson, Tennessee on Oct. 29, 1952 to Eugene and Mildred Johnson. Patricia moved to Arizona in the 1960s where she met the love of her life, Robert George Mertens, Sr., in Tucson, Arizona, where they continued dating and finishing high school. They moved to Kingman in 1971 where they married and had their son, Robert George Mertens, Jr. The three then moved to Lake Elsinore, California where they owned and operated a campground on the lake. In 1975 they had their daughter, Lori Mertens Newberry. In 1978 the family moved back to Kingman and purchased their forever home where they raised their family and made amazing memories. Patricia “GRANNY” loved her family. She would do anything for them. Granny loved and spoiled her babies. If you ever met her, she was Granny from that point on. Patricia “Granny” enjoyed spending her time at the lake, camping, shopping or anything that involved spending time with her husband, children and grandbabies. Her grandchildren were her world!
