Patricia J Tickner

Pat Tickner passed away peacefully on September 17, 2026, in Delray Beach, Florida, at the age of 93. Born on April 29, 1933, in Niagara Falls, New York, Pat lived a life defined by devotion to family, service to others, and a joyful spirit that touched everyone she met.

She is survived by her two children, Susan Tickner Roegiers (Rick) of Delray Beach, and Stephen Tickner (Jerri) of Marietta, Georgia. She also leaves behind four granddaughters—Ashley Roegiers, Jamee Roegiers, Alison Tickner, and Kara Tickner—who adored her deeply and lovingly called her Mimi. They will forever carry her love in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Margaret LeRoy; father, Milton LeRoy; brother, Milt LeRoy; and sister, Louise Cavanaugh.

Pat’s family moved to Ashtabula, Ohio, where she spent her teen years. As an adult, she lived in Key West for four years before settling in West Palm Beach to raise her children and continue her teaching career. She later made her home in Delray Beach.

A proud graduate of the University of Michigan, Pat remained a loyal Wolverines fan throughout her life. Her career as a teacher was one of her greatest callings, especially her time teaching at The ARC, where she spent the last 20 years of her career.

Pat found joy in sewing, gardening, and traveling the world. She truly loved spending time with her family and especially her granddaughters. Her creativity, kindness and friendships shaped a life rich with experiences and memories.

She was a devoted and longtime member of both St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, where her faith and fellowship enriched her life and the lives of those around her.

A memorial service will be held at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 211 Trinity Place, West Palm Beach, on Monday, October 26th at 10:00 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church or a charity of your choice.

Pat’s legacy is one of love, generosity, and unwavering devotion to her family and community. She will be remembered always and missed beyond measure.
