Joyce Leddick Obituary

Leddick, Joyce

Dec 27, 1938 - Nov 4, 2025

86, of Tonawanda, New York, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 4, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Joyce lived a spirited and joyful life, filled with laughter, kindness, and a sense of adventure. She embodied a quiet strength and resilience that guided her family through life. For Joyce, Family always came first. She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother. She was the heart and soul of every family gathering. Joyce loved nothing more than being surrounded by her loved ones, great food, and good conversation. Though she cherished her home, Joyce also had an adventurous spirit and a deep appreciation for life's experiences, big and small. She left the world a brighter, kinder place through her compassion and unwavering love for others. Her warmth, humor, and generous heart will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate to know her. Joyce is survived by her sister Linda Giles (Rick), her daughters Lynda Soos (Mark) and Cynthia (Rob) Perkins, nephew Eric Giles (Amy), niece Christen Giles, her grandchildren Steve Rahman (Amanda), Jamil Rahman (Armina), Nicole Durbin (Jesse), Rebecca Melbrod (Andrew), six great-grandchildren and great nephew. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Jack Leddick and her daughter Kathleen Przybylak. Family and friends are invited to attend calling hours at Lombardo Funeral Home (Northtowns Chapel) 885 Niagara Falls Blvd. Amherst on Friday November 14th from 3 to 6 pm. A prayer service will immediately follow. Private entombment at Elmlawn Cemetery. In honor of Joyce's deep love of flowers, arrangements and flowers are welcome along with contributions in her name to the Erie County Botanical Gardens. Condolences may be made online at lombardofuneralhome.com.
