Our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, left us to be with her son, granddaughter and parents on Wednesday, August 19, 2020 in her home in Panguitch.
Patricia Ann Leach, 73, was born June 17, 1947 in Panguitch to Betty Louise Veater and Arthur LeRoy Nay, and was raised by her mother Betty and her stepfather Keith Lynn Frandsen. She married Lewis Don Leach on August 21, 1964 in Panguitch, where they raised their two children Troy and Leisa.
She enjoyed playing piano from a young age and played every song by ear. She always loved the holidays, but her favorites were Christmas and Halloween. She never turned down a game of bunko or bingo. Her favorite thing was capturing memories in photos and enjoying them with family. Riding on the back of Lewis’s Harley always put a smile on her face. The most important thing in her life was always family, she loved every minute with her children, grandchildren and even her great grandchildren.
Survivors include her husband Lewis of Panguitch, daughter Leisa (Henry) Worthen of Cedar City, brother Michael (Tracy) Frandsen, and three grandchildren Shaun (Sutton) Worthen, Jesse (Victoria) Worthen, Karlee (Brice)Adams and great-grandchildren Kaybrie, Taytum, Payton,Cloe, Marlie, Dez, Izlie, Danilynn, Axel, and Hayvann. She was preceded in death by her parents, two baby sisters, son Troy Leach, and granddaughter Mandy Worthen Crowther.
Graveside services will be held August 29, 2020 at 11:00 Am in the Panguitch Utah Cemetery. Services arranged with Mosdell Mortuary.
Dear Lewis and Family
My deepest sympathy to you. Patsy and i had some great times growing up in Panguitch. Our Moms were good friends and we played alot together. When my Mom passed away she sang in her funeral and was 8 years old. I still remember the song and her singing. Later we enjoyed jr high and PHS high school.
I remember her dating days and her Love for Lewis, her wedding and the birth of your children.
My last visit with her we had alot of laughs and tears.
I am sure she is with her precious son and family. May God be with you and comfort you in the days ahead.
Love and Sincerely

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you Lewis and family. Losing a loved one is so hard as you well know. Her classmates have been texting and talking so much the past few days, mostly about your dear wife, and our friend. We have many wonderful memories of Patsy. She will be missed by all. Your family is in my prayers. I treasure the last few times I have seen and talked to her. May you all feel the Lord’s love and support during your grieving.

Dear Lewis and Family,
We are sorry for your loss, but happy for Patsy to be free of poor health and pain, and to be with beloved family members. I remember babysitting for you when Troy and Leisa were young, and I have had an interest in your family ever since that time. Just know that you have so many people that love you and are praying for you to receive peace and comfort.
