Two grandchildren Ryder and Kingston Ginerstra. Leah had a smile that would light up the room, and always made people feel special. She found the good in everyone she met. Leah was very selfless, taking care of her parents for many years until their passing. Leah adored her grandchildren very much and enjoyed the time she spent with them. Leah loved the outdoors, planting her flowers in the spring and relaxing at the pool. Her happiest moments were at the beach in the sun, feet in the sand. Leah was a sun dress and flip flop kind of girl. Online condolences may be expressed at www.amosfamily.com (arr. Amos Family Chapel of Shawnee, 913-631-5566).

Leah had a soul that shined so bright, it would blind you! This world was truly a better place because of her! She will be deeply missed by those that had the pleasure of knowing her! I'm positive her mother and her are lounging on a beach somewhere, working on their tabs! My heart goes out to the love of her life and her brothers! My family and I send all of our love and prayers in this very difficult time! Rest In Paradise, gorgeous!
