Patty Jo (Abel) Peredo

Age 70, of Indianapolis, passed away June 27, 2016. Patty was born in Beech Grove, IN on October 7, 1945 to the late, Roy Louis and Laverne Elizabeth (Plummer) Abel. She graduated from Mt. Comfort High School in 1963 and briefly attended Ball State University. Patty retired from Crossroad Farms Dairy (The Kroger Company).

Patty was beloved by family and friends. She was a devoted Mother to her daughter, Malusa and son, Tony. She reveled in supporting, participating, and watching the lives of her grandchildren, Marisa and Roy. Patty was known for her warm hugs, loving smiles, and strong supportive shoulders for all her family and friends. Patty grew up on a farm in Hancock County where she developed her passion for all things of nature. Patty enjoyed gardening, and would anxiously await the blooming of her flowers to the ripeness of her tomatoes. Patty was an avid birdwatcher who liked to sit and see how many different kinds of birds would frequent her yard. She especially enjoyed the hummingbirds. Patty took pleasure from the simple things of life. She would marvel at a colorful sunset, fullness of the moon, rumbling of an incoming thunderstorm, and the sun’s warmth of a new day. Patty was thrilled by visiting new places. She routinely traveled and went on adventures with her brother-in-law, Nelson. Whether an extended trip through the mountains or a leisurely ride on the motorcycle, she valued the experiences they shared.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Laverne; husband, Edgar C. Peredo; her brothers, Dennis “Jay” and Roy “Butch” Abel; nephews, Nelson Peredo II and Roy Peredo.

Patty is survived by her daughter, Malusa Peredo; son, Anthony “Tony” Peredo (Amy); grandchildren, Marisa Peredo and Roy Peredo; brother, Jack Abel (Sandy); sister-in-law, Sharon (Abel) Farmer; brothers-in-law, Nelson C. Peredo and Fernando C. Peredo (Martha); nieces, Sheri, Cindy, Kristi, Linda, Dunia, and Patricia; nephew, Mike; as well as numerous great nieces and nephews, extended family members and friends.
