PATERSON, Leonie (Lee). With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Lee Paterson, who left us on the 21st of June 2026, at the age of 80. Lee was a deeply loved and cherished partner of Peter Challis, his pearl of a girl. Lee was a devoted stepmother to Paula, Natalie and Jason and a proud adoring grandmother to Dayna, Jake, Taryn, Courtney and Eden. As a treasured great grandmother, Lee's warmth, kindness and bright spirit touched every generation of the family, leaving behind a legacy of love and beautiful memories. As to Lee's wishes, a private family cremation will be held. Loved always, Peter's pearl of a girl.
