Marsha Lynn Lesko, 78, passed away surrounded by family on Saturday, September 13, 2025.

Marsha was born in Vestal, NY on January 19, 1947. She was a daughter of the late Raymond Dykeman and Florence Howard Dykeman Day. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Robert Lesko, brother Gary Dykeman, and her stepfather Clayton Day.

She was a parishioner at St. Brendan the Navigator Catholic Church and was retired from the Telecommunications Department for the State of North Carolina.

During her life, Marsha enjoyed playing games with friends, puzzles, golf, and traveling with her husband. She loved spending holidays with her large family. Most of all she treasured the time she got to spend with her grandchildren, especially at the pool, beach, or playing miniature golf, usually followed by ice cream.

Surviving her are her son Russell Lesko (Jeannice); daughters Tricia Crissman (Mike) and Nicole Perry (Bradley), sisters Linda Cameron (Steve), Lori Roma (Larry) and Donna Swindler (Reid), six grandchildren, and fourteen nieces and nephews.

A mass will be celebrated in St. Brendan, the Navigator Catholic Church in Shallotte, NC at 10am on September 26, 2025. Family and friends are invited to share fellowship at the church hall following the service.
