Joyce Leff Obituary
Joyce Myrna Leff (nee Berger) wife of David S. Leff and Mother to Maxine Mann, Mom-Mom to Sydney and Rebecca Mann, passed away at the age of 87. Joyce truly embraced life on her own terms, guided by her deep affection for animals, especially the many dogs and cats she rescued over the years. She chose wisely in David as her devoted partner with whom she shared 72 years. Joyce was a bright and dedicated special education teacher. She lived her life in authenticity and never obligation. Her love of the whimsical existed alongside a sharp mind and a strong sense of self. May her memory be for a blessing.
Relatives and friends are invited to Graveside Services at 12:00 PM on Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at Roosevelt Memorial Park, 2701 Old Lincoln Highway, Trevose, PA 19053.
