Patricia Ann "Pat" Leach, a cherished wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on July 25, 2025, at her residence in Beavercreek, Ohio, surrounded by her beloved family. She was born on December 31, 1948. Patricia lived a life that resonated with joy and enthusiasm for the simple pleasures it offered.

Throughout her life, Patricia was known for her quiet yet vibrant personality, finding comfort and fulfillment in her hobbies. She was a wonderful crocheter and knitter, often using her talents to create gifts for family and friends. Patricia also had a passion for collecting thimbles, a hobby that brought her joy.

Patricia's enthusiasm for life was contagious, and she found delight in the small moments. At times quiet and reserved, she had a heart full of warmth that shone through her actions and the care she extended to others.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Allen "Lee" Leach, who stood by her side through thick and thin. Patricia also leaves behind her loving sons, Tony and Andy (Kristen) Leach, and her cherished grandchildren, Raeann, Elise, and Emmett, who were the light of her life.

Patricia is preceded in death by her son, Craig Leach, whose memory will forever be held close in the hearts of her family.

"God saw you were getting tired

and a cure was not to be.

So He put his arms around you

and He whispered come with me.

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer

and watched you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly,

we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating.

Hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us

that He only takes the best.

It's lonely here without you.

We miss you more each day.

Life doesn't seem the same

since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely,

and everything goes wrong,

We seem to hear you whisper,

Cheer up and carry on.

Each time we see your picture

you seem to smile and say,

Don't cry, I'm in God's hands.

We'll meet again some day."
