Leann Zotis Obituary
Born on September 28, 1956, in Pittsburgh, Leann was the daughter of the late Benjamin W. and Rhoda Mae Holste. She lived her life with energy, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the simple and meaningful moments that brought her joy.
Leann enjoyed staying active through walking and riding her spin bike, and she found relaxation and creativity in paint-by-number projects. An avid reader, she loved getting lost in a good book. One of her greatest joys was traveling, especially the many memorable trips she took throughout Europe with her beloved husband, John.
Leann is survived by her loving and devoted husband, John Zotis. She was the dear sister of Nancy Schlanger and David A. Holste, and the late Benjamin E. Holste. She also leaves behind six nieces and several great-nieces and great-nephews, all of whom she cherished dearly.
Friends will be received on Friday, December 26, 2025, from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, 5405 Steubenville Pike, Robinson Township, PA 15136, where a Trisagion Service will be held at 6:00 PM.
On Saturday, December 27, 2025, a viewing will be held from 10:00 AM until the time of the Funeral Service at 11:00 AM at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 985 Providence Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA 15237, with Father John Touloumes officiating. Burial will follow.
Leann will be lovingly remembered for her warmth, her zest for life, and the deep love she shared with her family and friends.

I had the privilege of working with Leanne for over 30 years. She was such a good person and I´m so glad I got to count her among my friends. I know she was really happy with John and my heart goes out to him on his loss. My prayers are with him and his family at this time.
