Born and raised in Mankato, MN by her mother, Lavernne Benson & Grandma Ludmilla Oglesby. Moved to Mpls in the 1940's, she continued living a full life, raising her 3 sons & 1 daughter with husband, Roger Lehmann. He was a Big Band Musician & Patty loved to sing & dance! She could dance circles around the best of the best!! Her joy of life, love & laughter was a gift to all who knew her! Her 33 years at Cimarron Ponds in Plymouth, MN with Earl Helseth were some of her happiest! So many special Holiday gatherings & wonderful summer parties & pool time with family & friends! Patty, you will continue to shine on in all of our lives, like the sun, moon & stars that you loved so much - Dance on, sweet Mama! Thank you to the kind nurses / aides at Glencoe Skilled Nursing & to the Ridgeview Hospice Team. They provided such love, care & dignity for our Patty Cakes in the last year of her life.
