Deforest - Patricia L. Ledesma, age 73, passed away at her home on Thursday, June 6, 2024 with her family by her side. She was born on November 22, 1950 in Lansing, MI to parents, Robert and Hazel (Halsted) Dast.

Patricia was a 1969 graduate of Everett High School in Lansing, MI, where she was a member and active in the choir of Judson Baptist Memorial Church. She married the love of her life, Raul “Rudy” Ledesma in this same church on August 15, 1970. Together they raised four children and were blessed with nearly 54 years of marriage. During her working years, Patricia provided child care, worked full time for Ingham Medical, and after moving to Wisconsin, she worked for Appleton Medical and Walgreens Distribution Center. Patricia, with her husband and family, settled in Deforest, WI in 1993. She was an active member of Door Creek Church, participating in day care and bible study. Throughout her life, she always loved children and they loved her right back. She was always supportive to her kids and grandkids, loved spending time with her family, and especially cherished her husband. Patricia will be remembered as the sweetest person with a gift of making those around her feel loved and special.
