My name is Patricia Howard, and I am the District Manager of the Alamo-Lafayette Cemetery District. I have been with the District since January 1994. Working for the cemeteries has been one of the best experiences of my life. You meet so many wonderful family members and for me, helping them at one of the most challenging times in their lives, is extremely rewarding.  On March 16, 2024, I was awarded a most prestigious award from the California Association of Public Cemeteries, "Cemeterian of the Year", which I am truly honored to receive!

A little about me: I have been married to my best friend since 1999. We both have two children from previous marriages and between them we have ten grandchildren, a furbaby Gizmo and a grand furbaby Fluffy. My husband and I love to camp, and we take our fifth wheel and travel through out the states. We also enjoy motorcycle riding and traveling by cruise ship to numerous ports and exploring each new area and their cemeteries!
