Amanda Leech Obituary
Amanda MacDonald Leech, of Kittanning, Pa., passed away Monday, May 16, 2022, at ACMH Hospital.

Amanda was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Kittanning.

Amanda was a former President of the Kittanning and Ford City Jr. Woman's Club and was also the First Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Mental Health Clinic of Armstrong County, which is now the Family Counseling Center. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her family and being a beloved grandmother to her grandchildren.
Her memory will be cherished by her two daughters, Lee Ann Koffman, of Clearwater, Fla.; and Lynn Ellen Toth and husband, Gregory, of Kittanning; four grandsons: Jeremy Heath Peters, Taylor John Toth and fiancé, Cameron Keady, Gregory "Mac" MacDonald Toth and wife, Sanela, and Jud Jeffrey Toth and fiancée, Morgan Joseph; one granddaughter, Amanda Peters; one great-grandson, Dominic Scialabba; a sister, Nancy Rae Kramer of Baden, and her beloved cat, Zoie.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband, John P. "Jack" Leech, whom she married June 9, 1951, and who died Oct. 3, 2007; and a sister, Lou Ellen Kelso.
"Andy walks with you... forever."
