Patricia Ferris Millosovich passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on November 24, 2025.
Patricia, fondly known as “Miss Pat,” was born to the late Francis and Hazel Hayes on September 4, 1933. Miss Pat was born, raised, and lived most of her life in Alameda. Miss Pat graduated from Alameda High School in 1951 and received her dental assistant certification from Laney College. She worked for Dr. Robert French, DDS, in her twenties as a dental assistant. In 1961, Miss Pat married Trevor “Mr. Trev” Millosovich, and they started a family. They had a total of seven children. Initially, Miss Pat and Mr. Trev lived in the Oakland hills before returning to Alameda in 1965, where they resided in the infamous “2129.”
Miss Pat was happiest when she had a full house, was in her garden, or baking her delicious Sunday pies. No matter how crowded it was around her table, she always made sure there was room for one more. For her, more was always merrier.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, Francis and Hazel Hayes of Alameda; her brother, John Tonningsen of Reno; and her husband Trevor Millosovich of Alameda. She is survived by her daughter Mary Millosovich and son-in-law James Heffernan of Alameda; her son Joseph Millosovich and daughter-in-law Corinna Zanetti of Alameda; her son Stephen Millosovich and daughter-in-law Wendy Lindstrom of Sonoma; her son John Millosovich of Alameda; her daughter Katherine Ruggiero, son-in-law Michael Ruggiero, and her grandchildren Ivy Parr of Fallston, MD, and Jackson and Henry Ruggiero of Alameda; her son Nicholas Millosovich and daughter-in-law Julie Vales of Alameda; and her son Michael of Alameda.
A celebration of Miss Pat’s life will be held in early 2026. Miss Pat and Mr. Trev are once again enjoying their after-dinner walks.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made in her name to the Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB).
