Marilyn Lorraine Leach (Morris)

CUYAHOGA FALLS - Born March 7, 1950, she began her journey here on earth. On December 18, 2025, her final goodbye was given, and she began her journey in heaven.

Preceded in death by her husband, Herbert Leach; her parents, Willie and Lorraine Morris; her in-laws, Robert and Ruth Leach; her brothers, David Morris and Vincent Smith, and her grandson, Tyler Rice. She is survived by her children; son, Paul Leach and daughter, Amy Rice; grandsons, Robert (Angel) and Grayson Leach, and Bailey (Ruby) Rice; sister, Judith Smith; brothers, Barry (Trudy) and Bruce (Lyn) Morris; sister-in-law, Cynthia Bayless, and great-grandchildren, Ava, Carter, and Lilly; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins, as well as her "honorary" children, and friends who became family.

You were our "Go To" when life threw us curveballs, you were our comfort from life's storms, and because of you, we have the hearts of a lion, unbreakable spirits, the love of our family, and stories to last beyond our lifetimes. May we all find comfort in knowing that Marilyn's legacy lives on through the lessons she taught us, the love she shared so generously, and the dash she lived filled with memories to cherish forever.

May she be remembered for the lasting impact left on everyone who knew and loved her.
