Patsy was married to William ‘Snuffy’ Dennis for 25 years until his death at the age of 54. Together they raised a family in the Beaches and later, Clarksburg.
She was the dear and beloved mother of Leslie McLean (Tim Marchand) of Walter’s Falls, Darrell (Erin McIvor) of Clarksburg, Shannon (Will Walker) of Penetang, and Bill (Sarah Bright) of Clarksburg.

Patsy loved to participate in life! She was a resident of the Toronto Islands while growing up. She sang with the Sweet Adeline’s both in Toronto and later with the Thornbury Chapter. Patsy adored all types of music. She was an accomplished skier and tennis player, a renowned quilter, knitter and seamstress.
She made a friend of everyone she met, and loved to laugh and make merry with family and friends both old and new. Patsy loved the community and touched many hearts and souls during her life journey. But most of all, she loved her family.
