Leigh Morrison Obituary

Passed away peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital surrounded by the love of family on November 8, 2020 at the age of 69. Beloved wife of Heimo Duller for 43 years. Loving mother to Julia (Ivan) and proud GrandLeigh to Hannah and Mireille. Dear sister to Catherine, Ian (Brenda) and the late Jamie. Throughout her life Leigh found great reward in helping those around her by sharing her professional and personal insight and expertise as a teacher, mentor, community volunteer, and friend. Leigh was an avid reader, with a book in hand until the end, and one of her most gratifying experiences was in serving her community as Chair of the Burlington Public Library Board. Leigh will be remembered for her love of family and for the joy she took in meeting and greeting her neighbours and friends on her regular walks around the neighbourhood. Many thanks to the staff at Joseph Brant Hospital for their care and compassion. In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Leigh's memory to the Burlington Food Bank.

My sincere condolences to you all on Leigh's untimely passing. I wish I'd kept in better touch, especially in these last few years. I'll remember her fondly from our times re-enacting together, and also from way back in the ancient mists of history when we did our MBAs together. She'll be much missed in many circles. Keeping you all in my thoughts in these most trying of times.

Beautiful picture of my cousin Leigh! I am so sorry for your loss Heimo, Julia and family. Leigh loved keeping in touch with her family roots and I appreciated her weekly call to my Mom (her Auntie Shirley). Thinking of you all. From Janice and Uncle Mel.

I remember Leigh as a frequent visitor to the Tyandaga Branch Library when I worked there. I remember her warmness and willingness to share new parenthood experiences. And, of course, her love of reading. My deep condolences to her family.

Our condolences to Heimo and Julia. We were shocked and saddened to hear of Leigh’s passing. We loved having Leigh as a neighbour and friend. She made an effort to get to know us as soon as we moved onto her street and would always stop by to say hello on her many walks around the neighbourhood. She loved sharing updates with us about her grandchildren and her daughter Julia. Our neighbourhood won’t be the same without her. Rest In Peace Leigh
