Leaninne McPeck

Leaninne A. McPeck, 69, of Zanesville, Ohio passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 watching her beloved westerns. She was born on August 16, 1956 in Zanesville, a daughter to the late Christopher and Mae (Rambo) Papageorge. She leaves behind her husband of nearly 51 years, Rodney McPeck, and their five children Lannette Gandee (McPeck), Tonya (Mike) Moore, Teresa McPeck, Amanda McPeck, and Doug (Amy) McPeck.

Leaninne was a stay-at-home mom for most of her children’s life, a loving grandma to 11 (Amiera, Herbert (Dee), Mikayla Barbour; Cameron (Kerry), Kara Moore; Blake McPeck; Carson McPeck, Zeppelin Melick, Aubree Jordan, Breighlyn Huff, Lincoln McPeck), and great-grandma to 11 (Sophia, Maxx, Luna, Lukin, Leah, Brenna, Octavia, Briar, Liam, Tatum, Kamden). Her grandkids would say she was bossy, but they never went without anything.

She was a member of St. Ann’s Catholic Church of Philo until it closed. She was an avid collector of McCoy, specifically cookie jars, and salt n pepper shakers. She enjoyed traveling with her husband and family. She loved a good western, especially any John Wayne movie. She loved the outdoors including hunting, fishing, boating on the Muskingum, and just spending time with her family.

She is survived by her in-laws Dick (Cam) McPeck, Carol (Jeff) Page, David McPeck, Dan (Bonnie) McPeck, Mike (Lois) McPeck, Molly Thomas, Gary McPeck, and Mindy Miller; her siblings Craig (Deb) Papageorge, Kevin Papageorge, Lora (Tim) Guenthner, Kent (Tammy) Papageorge, Michael (Destiny) Papageorge, Alicia (Troy) Tipton, and sister-n-law Debbie Papageorge; and her numerous nieces, nephews, and loved ones including Mari Shackelford.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her father and mother-n-law Ramon and Mary McPeck; her older sister Renita (Papageorge) Leach; her brother-n-law Rusty Thomas; her older brother Lynn Papageorge; her nephew Tegan Papageorge; her sister-n-law Janet McPeck.

Colon cancer took her way too soon. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The James Cancer Center. The family would like to thank the nurses, doctors and staff of the James who helped give us the last two years.
