Leah Sierer Obituary

Sierer Leah J. Sierer, age 57, of Bexley, OH, passed away Monday, March 13, 2017 at home surrounded by family. Leah was born in Columbus, Ohio on November 29, 1959, to Jack and Mary (Rafferty) Lake. Leah is described by her family as having a warm heart, funny, and having the distinct ability to capture a room and be the life of the party. She was a hard worker, sponsor to many, and always would follow her moral compass- a quality her family especially appreciated. She will be greatly missed. Leah is survived by her parents; husband, Troy Sierer; children, Andrew and Nicole Hall, and Madelyn Sierer; grandchildren, Andrew Hall, Madyson Mendoza and Meridith Lodge; siblings, Greg Lake and Jack Lake II; niece, Lydia Lake; nephews, Jack Lake III, Joshua and Isaiah Lake; and ex-husband, John Hall. Friends may call 5-7 p.m. Friday, March 17 at SCHOEDINGER MIDTOWN CHAPEL, 229 E. State St., Columbus, OH. Mass of Christian Burial will be Saturday, March 18, 10 a.m. at St. Catharine Church, 500 S. Gould Rd., Bexley, OH 43209. Interment will follow at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery. Leah always enjoyed flowers, particularly Hydrangeas.

I'm so sorry for your loss

No doubt Leah was greeted at the gates of Heaven with joy and singing, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" Thank you, Lord Jesus, for having us live during the same era as Leah and for Your miracle of conquering the grave. Your love and faithfulness is never ending. Never! Her love for you the same. God bless and give Your comforting strength and peace to everyone who loves her and all the many lives she touched. May more and more love for You grow. I'm grateful I will see my fellow redhead sister again on the flip side! Thank You for sharing a glimpse of the Kingdom of Heaven with us through your bold and priceless daughter, Princess Leah. I know she sits in glory at the right hand of God with You, Jesus...alive, whole, and finally free ~*

Seems like only yesterday (late '80's) RJ and I talked with Leah at Paul's on E. Broad St. about a fellowship and way of life that helped us and might work for her too. She went on to bigger and better things and worked with many people. Her sense of humor is what I will remember most about her. Rest in peace. My condolences go out to Leah's family, friends and loved ones.

Thoughts and prayers to all of the family.......Leah was my 1st sponsor. I learned so much from her, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I think what I will miss most is that infectious laugh, she could light up any room she walked into. She had the ability to love unconditionally (even through her last days). Leah was everybody's best friend and more!!! She will be sadly missed.

Beautiful, beautiful Leah. So full of life and love. When I knew her, the children were small and she had yet to meet Troy. I had the honor to be her first sponsor and loved her from the start. She quickly grabbed onto our new way of life and was helping others almost at once. I attended her wedding; she was so in love with Troy. I moved away but we connected occasionally and Leah seemed so happy. Her life was way too short but she lived it to it's fullest with laughter, grace and love.
