Leo Coacher Obituary
Leo Coacher passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. He was born on October 8, 1960 in Bridgeport, Connecticut to Leo and Anne Coacher (nee McClatchy). A graduate of Archbishop John Carroll High School and West Chester University, Leo was a lifelong resident of Havertown, Pennsylvania.
Leo is survived by his beloved wife of 39 years, Susie (nee Curcio), and daughter, Caitlin Rankin (Matthew); grandsons Leo and Ryan; his mother Anne Coacher; his siblings LeAnne Luterman (Keith), Raymond Coacher (Trish), Joan Dougherty (Beau), Laura Barr (Michael); and by many loving extended family members and dear friends. He is predeceased by his father Leo Coacher Sr.
Leo was a dedicated Philadelphia sports fan, and enjoyed every moment he shared with friends and family watching games. Leo loved fishing, golfing, and playing corn hole, but nothing so much as spending time with his family and friends. Leo will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation on Saturday, December 20th from 9:00-10:15 AM at Sacred Heart Church (105 Wilson Avenue, Havertown, PA 19083), followed by a funeral mass at 10:30 AM. Internment will take place at Westminster Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Leo’s memory may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. https://www.stjude.org/

Dear Sue and Family,
I was shocked to see that Leo passed away. Knowing him from St. Denis to Archbishop Carroll then meeting you and you and Leo becoming a couple. I would see you both at the Giant in Havertown. Always shopping together and looking so happy as usual. You both complimented each other. Leo was a great guy...always friendly and acknowledging. You and your family are in my prayers and keep the memories close to your heart!

My condolences to the entire family especially Susie and Cait. The Callahan/Hyson Family is thinking of you all. I always loved hearing stories about "Susie and Leo" from Susie. Their adventures together, the love they have for their daughter and grandbabies. The love they have shared together for 39 years is a true inspiration to many. Sending all my love and prayers to the Coacher Family.

Heartfelt condolences to the Coacher family. Leo and I worked together on countless appraisals over the past 30yrs
We’d speak often our conversations always started with work but often pivoted to talking about sports, current events and family. I’m going to miss him

I remember all of the Street Hockey games and the Coacher corner was always home plate for ball games. Every time I hear a dinner bell anywhere, I think of the Coacher's RIP.

Growing up with Leo and Wiffle Ball at the front steps on Benedict ave. Probably still debating if the ball was fair or foul...LOL. Now that you are omniscient Leo....you were probably right. My sincerest condolences to Mrs. C, Suzie and the entire Coacher Clan . God Bless all of you and know Leo will always be in my heart.
