Patricia A. Leveridge

November 10, 1937 – August 16, 2025

Patricia A. Leveridge passed away on August 16, 2025 in Willis, Texas at the age of 87. She was born on November 10, 1937 in Merkel, Texas to Nolan L. and Annie Lee Palmer.

Patricia graduated from Merkel High School in 1955 and went on to attend Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. While still in high school, she met her future husband Ron Leveridge while running an errand for her father at S&Q Clothiers in Abilene. The two were married in 1956 and went on to build a life together with their three children Ron Jr., Rodney, and Melanie.

Throughout their early years, Ron’s career in sales took the family to several different cities. No matter where they lived, Patricia was the heart of the home – always present, always caring. A talented cook, she was especially proud of winning a cooking contest for one of her pies.

In 1977, after moving to Seattle, Patricia and Ron founded their own business, Traditions Unlimited. Patricia played an active role in the company and supported Ron in his earlier business ventures as well. They were true partners in every sense.

A devoted wife, mother, and homemaker, Patricia brought warmth and joy to everyone around her. She and Ron cherished spending time boating with friends at the Queen City Yacht Club in Seattle, Washington and Oleander Point Yacht Club in Florida. Her faith was constant in her life and remained active in her Methodist Church and Sunday School community.

Patricia’s greatest joy was her family. She treasured every moment with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, often spending hours looking through photos and reflecting on their lives. She was also a steadfast and true friend to many.

Her most tragic loss was the untimely death of her oldest son Ron Jr., or RJ as he preferred to be called.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and kindness that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Patricia is survived by her husband Ron, son Rod Leveridge (Susan), and daughter Melanie Larson (Tim). Blessed by her grandchildren Danielle McAlpine (Scott), Christian Leveridge (Christina), Brittanie Williams (Greg), and Ashley Larson; great grandchildren Riley, Kinsley, Ember, and Alexander.
