Marsha Leonhardt, longtime Norwood resident, passed away peacefully at home on October 19, 2025 surrounded by her family. Marsha was born on July 29, 1944 to the late George and Anna Reider. She was a beloved figure in her family, cherished for her deep commitment to her loved ones, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Marsha is survived by her devoted husband, Martin Leonhardt; her brother, Paul Reider (Helen); her son, Jonathon Leonhardt (Danielle); her daughter, Jennifer Leonhardt; and her grandchildren, Jamie, Josh, Leah, Taylor, Ava, and Mia. She also leaves behind her great-grandchildren, Cameron, Cali, Alessia, and Carter.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister Georgianne Latcheran and brother in law Danny Latcheran.

Marsha's presence was a source of joy and comfort to her family. Her hobbies included spending quality time with her family, which was her greatest pleasure and priority. She also enjoyed her "antique" shopping.

Marsha's legacy of love and devotion will be cherished and remembered by all who knew her.

A private service will be held to honor Marsha's life and legacy.
