Leandra Dolph Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by St. Joseph Funeral Homes - Mayflower Chapel - South Bend on Jan. 27, 2026.
Leandra Leota Marie Dolph, 49 years old, passed away on January 25, 2026 at her home in New Carlisle.

Leandra was born on March 19, 1976 in South Bend, and is the daughter to Dewey S. Dolph, III. Leandra is preceded in death by her grandparents, Dewey and Marion Dolph; and her aunt, Rosalie (Dolph) Zielinski.

Leandra is survived by her father, Dewey S. Dolph, III; brother, Dewey Dolph, IV; aunts and uncles, Sharon (Bob) Humbarger, Leslie (Hans) Sigg, Larry (Heidi) Dolph, Jonathan (Cherri) Dolph, and Dewayne (Christine) Dolph.

Leandra was a wonderful girl who brought cheer to everyone she met. She had a terrific sense of humor and enjoyed trading laughs and smiles with her friends and family. Leandra had a quiet intelligence and soaked up information that she may interject into a conversation at a later date! Just thinking of the last time you were talking to her made you have a better day. Everyone loved Leandra. Leandra's grandparents helped her get the best start in life for her first 37 years shaping her glowing smile and beautiful personality. Leandra was so sweet! She will be missed by her family and everyone who knew her.

There will be a Celebration of Life Service held after church on Sunday, February 1, 2026 starting at 12:30pm at New Apostolic Church, 5602 Ironwood Dr, South Bend, IN 46614.

Donations in honor of Leandra Leota Marie Dolph may be made out to New Apostolic Church, 5602 Ironwood Dr, South Bend, IN 46614.

To all of her family and all the folks who loved her which includes me, may we carry her in our hearts forever. I was Leandra´s teacher for 6 years. I loved her greatly. She could bring the classroom to unstoppable laughter in a matter of seconds. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She showed great caring for the people in her life, her friends, her teachers, and her family. Having Leandra in our school family meant we also had Leandra´s family in our lives. Her Grandparents, Dewy and Marion were always looking out for what was best for her and were excellent partners with our school staff. Leandra was very bright and as school staff we had to be careful about adult conversations around her. She looked out for other classmates and for staff. She was a presence that carried so much joy that there are not words to describe it. Love to all of her family. I am so grateful that for six wonderful years I had her present in my life. She will be in my heart forever.
