Rusty Leck Obituary

Published by Legacy on Apr. 7, 2023.
Rusty Risner-Leck, 66, of Walbridge, Ohio died April 5, 2023, at her home. She was born in Hazard, KY on February 14, 1957, to Edwin "Ray" and Jackie (Tackett) Risner. Rusty married her sweetheart, Steven Leck on June 13, 1999, and they spent 43 years together.
Rusty was a staple of Walbridge, and everyone knew her. She greeted everyone with a huge smile. Rusty was known for her cooking. Whether at home or at the Susie's Skillet, people would line up to eat. She loved animals, gardening, playing pool, and being the life of the party. Living life halfway was not an option for Rusty. She lived every single day to the fullest.
Rusty is survived by her husband, Steven Leck; children, Jason Risner, Angela Benson, Steve Leck, Ryan Leck, and Shane (Erica) Leck; grandchildren, Cameron O'Riley, Caleb Finley, Collin Dederich, Shiloh Rhoades, Jaxon Leck, Bentley Leck and Winter Rose Leck; and dear cousin, Carla. She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Donna; and best friend, Tammy Morrison.
Friends will be received at Witzler-Shank-Walker Funeral Home, 701 N. Main St, Walbridge, Ohio on Saturday, April 8, 2023, from 2:00-5:00 PM. Memorial donations in Rusty's name may be made to Ohio SPCA or to an animal charity of your choice. Online condolences may be left at walkerfuneralhomes.com.
