Leslie Anne Westervelt

March 25th, 1959 - November 29th, 2015

Leslie Anne Westervelt, 56, of Summerfield, FL, passed away, Sunday, November 29, 2015 after a strong battle with leukemia. Leslie moved to Summerfield in the mid 70's. She attended Lake Weir High School where she met Jimmy, who lovingly refers to her as Tutz, and they have been together ever since. She is the daughter of the late Walter Otto Partenheimer and Muriel Partenheimer, who lives in Ocala. She was preceded in death by her sister, Mary Jane Westervelt.

Leslie had worked for Advanced Imaging in Ocala for 20 years. She enjoyed being an active member of the Ocala Shrine Club as Lady Leslie and loved going to Gator games. She was known for her kindness, sense of humor, cooking, a glass of good wine and being with her family. She always was concerned about others before herself. Her laughter and her presence will be forever missed.

She is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Jimmy Westervelt; two children, Jennifer Wheeler (Dustin), Jimmy J. Westervelt; two grandchildren, Heidi and Hana Wheeler; brothers, Walter Partenheimer, William Westervelt (Muriel); sisters, Beverly Hunter(James), Jacque Westervelt-Navarro, Darlene Lucas (Michael), Susan Mirro (Thomas), Laura Hike (Noel) and numerous nieces and nephews.

Sunday, December 6, 2015 I can't remember a time of " Not" having Leslie,...Jimmy and the kids in my heart. She had a heart of gold... she was giving and so loving and funny.!! She's been to many... many parties at my house.... and she has given me so many cherished gifts that I think of her every time I look at them. I thank God that he allowed me the closeness that I had with her and her family as well as the closeness that my Daughter shared with Jennifer. Well I guess since she is now in Heaven with my daughter "Jill" they will have lots and lots of time to talk about lots and lots of things. I love you Leslie and I will miss you until I see you again.

Shilouh, Ryan, Emma, Rhett and Alanna lit a candle Friday, March 25, 2016 🕯️ its funny how sometimes words just can't express how we feel, whether its because we don't know what to say or because our feelings and thoughts overwhelm us at the moment.... I Love You !I I Love You Aunt Leslie !! May she fly with the Angels and watch over us. May her laughter travel through the breeze. May she be there to help lift us up in our time of need. Until we reach our time for her to welcome us home, May our hearts be filed with her love, knowing, we are never alone. We love you aunt Les with all our hearts... Shilouh, Ryan, Emma, Rhett and Alanna Happy Birthday Aunt Les
