Patricia Madeline Leavens

Born on May 28, 1929, in Ventura, California, Patricia, known lovingly as "Pat," spent decades in Seattle, where she built a life defined by devotion to her family and incredible craftsmanship. Widowed by her beloved husband, Harold Eugene Leavens, Pat carried forward with resilience and dedication, becoming the heart of her family.

Pat spent much of her career as a housekeeper and caregiver, roles that reflected her nurturing and hardworking nature. A craftsman at heart, she had a rare gift for building and creating, taking on projects that amazed and inspired everyone around her. In her earlier years, she delighted in cooking and cherished the time she spent with her children and grandchildren, sharing her vibrant yet fierce personality that endeared her to so many.

She was not just a grandmother to her own family but to everyone who knew her. Pat had an unwavering ability to bring people together, and her bold, outspoken nature ensured that no one ever doubted where she stood or how deeply she cared. Her presence was the cornerstone of her family, and her absence leaves a void that will be felt forever.

Pat is survived by her four children: Laura Molina, Delphina Golbeck, Cathy Leamer, and Gillot Proelss, who continue to honor her memory and carry forward her lessons of strength and love. She is also fondly remembered by countless grandchildren, friends, and those fortunate enough to have known her.

Pat's love, determination, and larger-than-life spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She was everyone's grandma, and she will be deeply missed.

“The center of our family and the heart of our home-Pat's legacy of love will remain forever."
