Born on August 11, 1943, in Barberton, Ohio, Patricia was the beloved daughter of the late Anna Helen (née Diefore) and Steve Joseph Lenty. She dedicated over 30 years of service as an administrator at Babcock & Wilcox in Ohio before retiring to the warmth and sunshine of Florida in 1997.
Patricia was known for her kind heart, creative spirit, and joyful approach to life. She had a passion for arts and crafts, often participating in local crafting classes. A proud and spirited member of the Red Hat Society, she cherished the friendships and laughter shared with her fellow members.
She is lovingly remembered by Sharon (Larry) Lenty Peoples, Michael Aalberg, Karen (Terry) Ingram, Ross (Julie) Reitzel, Michelle (John) Hobac, Craig (Wendy) Buheit, and Theresa Bradshaw, along with many extended family members and dear friends who brought joy to her life.
In addition to her parents, Patricia was preceded in death by her cousins Dorothy Reitzel, Louise Buheit, and Todd Buheit, who held a special place in her heart.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Patricia’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at www.stjude.org.
