It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patricia Alice Levene (Bliesener), age 70, on October 9, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on January 4, 1955, Patricia was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a proud grandmother, and a cherished sister. Her life was built on the foundation of family, laughter, and simple joys, and she gave her love freely and fully to all who knew her.

She found her greatest peace at the family cabin by the lake — her favorite place in the world. Whether she was sitting on the porch with a good book, watching the sunset reflect on the water, or hosting family gatherings filled with stories and laughter, the lake was where her heart truly lived.  Perhaps the one place she enjoyed being at even more than the cabin, was cheering on her grandkids in all that they did.  She could be seen but also heard at track, cross country  and swim meets, baseball, basketball and football games, loudly cheering on those three kids that meant so very much to her.

Patricia  was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 42 years, Jack. Her parents Robert and Bernadette Bliesener and her sister Susan.  She is survived by her sons Derek and Chad (Lucie) Larson, Grandchildren Marcus, Adriana and Dominik,  brother John Bliesener and sister Mary Maahs.

She will be remembered for her warmth, her gentle strength, her quick wit, and her unwavering love for her family. Her legacy lives on in the traditions she passed down, the stories she shared, and the quiet beauty she brought into every room — and every summer at the lake.

Cremation burial held at Fort Snelling November 14, 2025 at 9 am.  Celebration of Life to follow at Crystal VFW (5222 Bass Lake Rd, Crystal, MN) from 1-5 PM.   In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you spend time with the ones you love, take a walk by the water, or simply sit in stillness and remember her kind spirit.  

Please consider registering as an organ donor if you are not already.  Patricia‘s desire to be a donor was honored by her family and she was able to give multiple people an extension on life as her last good deed before leaving this Earth.

She was deeply loved, and she will be forever missed.
