Patty and Brunie met when she was 13 and he was 15. They married in 1948 when Brune returned from Europe, following World War II. They soon moved to Darien, where they spent many happy years and raised their family.
In 1973 they moved to Sarasota, Florida, where they spent the rest of their lives. They worked together for many years as residential real estate brokers for Whispering Sands on Siesta Key.

Patty was also a longtime parishioner and volunteer at Saint Boniface Episcopal Church on Siesta Key.
Patty enjoyed tennis, golf, sailing, fishing, and bridge, but she will be remembered mostly for her gracious manner and her devotion to her family and her friends. Nana, as she was known in later years, touched the lives of everyone she met with her enduring love, warmth, generosity and her boundless desire to be with family.
She was the beloved wife of H. Brune Levering (Brunie). She was predeceased by her brother Teddy Waters Jr. of Baltimore, her daughter, Nancy L. Rozzelle, and her husband. She leaves two sons, H.
