LESLIE, PATRICIA JANE (PETRIE) Born January 30th, 1921 in Saskatoon and moved to Vancouver at age 12 with sisters Catherine (Toots) and Berna. Pat's natural talents in style and decor led her to a career in sales in fabrics/ draperies at Spencer's (Eaton's) while driving around town in her prize "Baby Val". With Toots, she travelled to Penticton reconnecting with her soul mate, Roy. They married on August 1,1964 in Vancouver and returned to Penticton to begin life together where she took up golfing (an adept putter from the start) and curling, while continuing to bowl, as a couple. She continued her career at The Bay until her retirement in 1985, pursuing her fondness for entertaining friends and family and to travel to special events. Many welcomed visitors would be regaled with their stories, which formed the tapestry of their lives together. Pat passed gracefully and peacefully on August 24 with family near and in their thoughts. Our sadness for our Aunt, who touched the lives of generations of nieces and nephews, is tempered with the knowledge that she is once again united with her beloved Roy and the circle is complete. Special thanks to nieces Heather and Allison for their devotion to both in these past weeks, as well as to the support and assistance of Dr. David Surkan and Bonnie (Ian) over the years. We also wish to thank Ard and the staff at the White Clinic as well as the staff at their local favourite destinations who brought joy and kindness into their lives in their golden years. These social contacts enriched their lives and we thank you. Celebration of Life Service at Penticton United Church Chapel, 696 Main Street, Saturday October 26th, 2013 at 1:30PM.
