Patricia Ann Leslie

Patricia Ann Leslie passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, October 2, 2021, just a few days shy of what would have been her 94th birthday. Pat was born in 1927 in Cherry Falls, West Virginia to Guy C. Hannah, Sr. and Esta Cummings Hannah. She grew up in Buckhannon, West Virginia and was a graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan College in 1949 with a degree in Home Economics. She immediately went to work for the gas company doing cooking demonstrations, showing people how easy it was to cook with gas. In 1951, Pat moved to Washington D.C. where she met George Leslie in 1952, and they were married in Los Angeles in 1954. After ten years of traveling with the Air Force, Pat and George retired to the Monterey Peninsula in November 1964.

Patricia was a stay-at-home mom who kept busy volunteering her time. While her children were studying at Junipero Serra School, Pat was an active member of the Mother’s Club. She also dedicated several years as a pink lady at Community Hospital. Pat developed a love for golf and she and George were charter members (Dons) at Rancho Canada. The joke in the family is that the phone number of the golf course was on the children’s emergency cards at school. Patricia followed her passion for flower arranging and oriental culture by being an active member of the oriental arts society. She also honed her bridge skills throughout the Monterey Peninsula.

But most of all Pat was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She took pride in having a home where everyone was welcome and fed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of almost 45 years George, and her brother Guy C. Hannah, Jr. She is survived by her daughters, Sue Quinn (Robert), and Mary Leslie. She was very proud of her grandchildren Patrick Quinn (Jessica) and Erin Brown (Michael), and the most recent joys of her life were her three great-grandsons, Brody Brown, Colton Brown and William Quinn.

A memorial will be held at The Paul Mortuary, 390 Lighthouse Ave, Pacific Grove, at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 16, 2021. In lieu of flowers, donations may made to VNA Hospice at https://ccvna.com/donate/ or the Monterey County SPCA at https://www.spcamc.org.
