fatal crashLANCASTER — A 47-year-old woman was killed Saturday morning in a two-vehicle collision in Lancaster, authorities.

Patricia Lopez was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred around 6 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, on Avenue I and 30th Street West, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.

Detectives have released few details on the crash, which remains under investigation.

  2. Patty was and will always be a beautiful person! People like (blm) Patty would say u need God in your life! She had such a big heart and had nothing but love that she would not say anything negative to your ignorant remarks! But I will say this! we will pray for you to find love in your heart! Cause it seems like u need lots of love! God Bless You!

  3. I was at her memorial service on Sunday February21st. I hardly knew her. We were sister in Christ. I met her about a year ago. The day of her memorial, I was able to gather that Patty was a great woman. Good daughter, family member, wife, mother, friend and most importantly a woman of faith. Her husband, Adolfo was as strong as expected considering the circumstances that evening. He stood firm. In conclusion, I’d like to invite you all to search within yourself to make the changes necessary in your own life, so that when you have to endure this kind pain you too can over come it with the strength that only the Lord can provide. I truly believe that we are all Christians, but most of us just aren’t active ones. Remember, being Christian doesn’t mean you will be free of hardship, pain and obstacles. It just means you will not feel forsaken. With all due respect , R.I.P. Patty Lopez

    • It’s tacky and rude of you to use this lady’s tragedy as a forum for proselytizing. What about the Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and – yes – Muslims of the world? They’re all faking it because they’re all actually Christians, according to you? You are narrow-minded and rude to assume God only appears in a form you’re comfortable with.

  4. For those of us who knew Patti on base, and our daily smile and coffee, there is a memorial for her on Thursday:

    Memorial Service for Patricia (Patty) Lopez will be held Thursday, 25 February 2016 at 0930 in Chapel 1, 15 W Popson, Bldg 2700.

    Patty was an integral part of the Edwards Community as she was the last original staff member of Starbucks. She always ensured that her smiling face and cheery disposition was infectious among all of her customers.

    The POC for this announcement is Ms. Rosalie Feyerle, 258-4510.

  5. RIP ….. I didn’t know you but I see many did. Even though your family need you God needed you more. I made the 911 call and soon later saw you take your last breath. Like I said didn’t know you but my tears rolled down my face for you and your family. God Bless You and again RIP.

      • Actually, you can’t get the info off of Pattricia’s Facebook page, because her page is set on private, so if you’re not her FB friend, no go.
        Also, the title in the GoFundMe is difficult to get to.

        It does not come up at Patti Lopez or Patty or Patricia…or any other thing in Lancaster, CA
        It’s titled
        For my tia patty

        so….it’s not easily found.
        If it was Patricia Lopez it be easier. hope this all helps

    • yes she always new what I needed every day I would go to Starbucks. I was just talking to her not too long ago. God bless you! will be praying for the family.

  10. Patti was a special person.
    Loved by all who met her.
    Kind, warm and compassionate, a smile for everyone who met her.
    For “blm”, Patti was an American citizen working on a United States Air Force Base.
    Every employee on this base gets a “Back Ground” Investigation.
    She was not the cause of the accident.
    God Bless her family and friends.
    Ms. Patti Lopez will be truly missed!
    People like “blm” are simply evil, possessing a low intelligence IQ. and demonstrating personality traits of a very unstable individual unable to show empathy.

  11. I was so sad to hear that we lost such a kind and lovely person. I only knew miss Lopez from Starbucks, but she was always so nice. I always hoped that she would be working when I went there because she was so friendly and caring. I’m so sorry to her family for your loss. Know that she was cared about by many

  13. I’m so sorry to hear this. My heart and condolences to the family. I’m sorry Art, Mike and I are praying for your family.

  15. Missing you sister Patty Lopez love so much i still can’t believe this is happening I was hopping it was just a nightmare but I guess it isn’t our prayers are for the girls your son and hubby and your family and brothers to bring us strength and understanding Please God be with us give us strength peace and heal our hearts in your name Jesus Christ amen!

  17. Just like I said latinas are the cause Most Crashes here the one the other day and every other one for the last few.
    And just before Christmas then L Latin the win all the way across the pier blossom highway head on your car and killed the poor woman

    • You were at the scene? You witnessed the accident and saw that she was the “cause”? Because as far as I’m concerned, you cant even express yourself properly. Do yourself a favor please, stop making assumptions, learn how to spell and keep you’re idiotic thoughts to yourself BLM.

        • Sounds like a red neck response. I agree with Claudia if you weren’t there don’t make racist remarks. If Patty’s last name was Smith, no one would be saying white chick are always causing accidents.

          • Dear Sgt DJ Ames ,,,Again it not the time for dramas ,
            And Miss Patty wash not a white chick ,
            She wash a very beautiful lady,,

          • Thanks Sgt Dj Ames
            You took the words out of my mouth. And this comment does and I believe is racist. Obviously Margaret didn’t read the post property. Claudia (my daughter) is NOT STARTING ANY KIND OF “A drama” like Margaret stated. That is the last thing We want and need. We are already Suffering Tremendously with the Loss of My sister Patty and, Claudias, Aunt. She is right if Mr.blm wasn’t there, he shouldn’t make No ASS-umptions. And keep his negativity to himself.
            Mrs. Margaret we don’t know who you are and you don’t know that “We” are Pattys family, I did see the comment you posted calling Her an Angel, and if you are One of the Many that are Grieving with Us, My family and I thank you from the bottom of Our hearts. There are Many that loved Patty dearly and were impacted by her life, and death. All I ask is for prayers and especially for her Husband, Son and Daughters. Blessings to all.

      • You tell it claudia! Tell it like it is,she should keep her mouth shut! Who is she to make those stupid comments,you know I stand by you 100%!

    • This cannot be Okay ,,Someone driving and Don,t stop for the Red stop light ,,
      This Person name got not release ,,and have some light medical problems ,,But this Person have kilt a beautiful woman…She wash a sunshine angel!!
      This Person Sal what kilt or friend ,I’m hope the Police rapport coming out soon !!
      And don,t have none words for this ,,,But the true come out ,,And this Person Sal be I’m cannot find words for this ,,,

    • To blm first off learn to spell and your grammer makes no sense and fyi not only latinas cause accidents eveyone and every race that drives is at risk here in our streets you are a racist a$$ puto/a instead you should pray for yourself because you really do need it

  20. The one thing I learned while living in Lancaster was to ALWAYS look both ways before entering an intersection. Especially if you’re light just turns green. Take a couple seconds and look for the red light runners. Be safe people!!

  21. Mine deep condolences going out the Lopez family ,,Pat we all Sal missing you!!
    Don,t understand you,r gone !!
    Rest in peace ,,Angel ,,

  22. My prayers sent to the family, my daughter and Tatiana are friends and even though we never met she was always kind enough to give my daughter rides to and from school. Definitely a heartbreaking story. RIP… Sending my condolences to her family and friends.

  26. Our condolences to the Lopez family. Her daughter Tatiana is my daughters friend. Patricia may you rest in peace. Heavily father grant her family the strength they need to get through this tragedy.

  27. Our condolences go out to the Lopez family. They are our neighbors and we are deeply saddened by this tragic news. We offer our prayers for strength and peace as the family goes through this season of sadness, grief and mourning.
