Patty Ann Sheets

Patty Ann Sheets, age 90, of Springfield, Ohio, the daughter of Carl Craig and Edith Mary (Leitschuh) Leffel, was born at home on Easter Sunday, April 21, 1935, and passed from this life on September 4, 2025, at Danbury Senior Living and Memory Care in Huber Heights. Patty married the love of her life, Gerald R. Sheets, days after graduating from Springfield High School in 1953. Patty and Gerald celebrated 65 years of marriage until his passing in 2018 of ALS. Patty was always very generous with her time, helping family, neighbors, and many lifetime friends. She was meticulous in everything she did, from keeping a spotless home to sewing, mowing grass, gardening, and woodworking. For sixty years, she enjoyed bowling at Victory Lanes on Wednesdays, traveling, and playing Euchre with friends and family. She is survived by her loving daughter, Deborah (Anthony) Bumbalough; granddaughter, Rebecca (Eric) Renegar; grandson, James Alexander (Erin) Bumbalough; great-grandchildren: Emma Renegar, Haley Renegar, Avery Renegar, Amelia Bumbalough, and Evelyn Bumbalough. Patty was preceded in death by her parents, siblings: Donna, Floyd, Richard, and Robert Leffel. The family would like to thank Danbury Senior Living, Amy Jo Black, and all her wonderful caregivers for their extremely compassionate, loving care. Many thanks also to Day-City Hospice for their extraordinary care. Richards, Raff, and Dunbar Memorial Home has been entrusted with the final arrangements and private burial at Rose Hill Cemetery.
