In loving memory of Mrs. Leah Leadbetter, a cherished wife, mother, and grandmother. Leah graced this world with her presence on February 7, 1950 in Goshen, New York, and spent much of her life in Maryland before retiring to Ocala, Florida. She departed this world too soon on September 14, 2024. She will be remembered for her boundless love and her incredible strength in the face of adversity. The vibrancy of her spirit was always reflected in the bright, bold colors she dressed in and chose to decorate her home.

Her family was the center of her universe, and she poured her love and wisdom into their lives every day. "To love each other deeply" was a lesson she taught by example, fostering a home filled with warmth and affection.

Her legacy is a testament to her extraordinary strength. Leah fought terminal cancer with unmatched determination, never allowing it to break her spirit. Her resilience was an inspiration to all who knew her, and her strength remains a beacon of hope to those facing similar battles.

Leah's absence will be deeply felt by her whole family. Leah is survived by her devoted husband Charles; their son, Eric (Alexandra); step-daughter Tina (James) Stone; her treasured grandchildren Helena, Schuyler, and Riggin; and her brother Richard (Joy) Eichholtz. Her love, guidance, and strength are the threads that bind them together, and they will cherish her memories in their hearts forever.
