Katherine A. Leihgeber, 82, of New Galilee, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on August 3rd, 2025, at her lifelong home.
She was born in Big Beaver, Pennsylvania on May 12th, 1943, a daughter of the late Clara and Carl Leihgeber. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings: Carl Edward Leihgeber (Veda), Thelma Phillips (Bill), Emma Sepsie, Lawrence Leihgeber; as well as her great-niece, Ashlee Leihgeber. She is survived by her nephews, Carl Allen Leihgeber (Marlana) of New Galilee, Bill Phillips (Jody) of New Galilee and George Sepsie of New Castle, her nieces, Michele Sheridan (Bob) of Pittsburgh, Cindy Musquire, Kim Webb (Bruce) of New Galilee and Marie Sepsie of Kansas; as well as many great nieces and nephews.
Katherine was known for her faith and dedicated work at Providence Health Care (Providence Health and Rehabilitation Center) of Beaver Falls. She spent her life as a loyal lamb to her Lord, a devotee of the Christian House Baptist Church (Chapel) of Aliquippa, and was very close with her dog Scotty. She loved crocheting in the sunshine on her porch.
Katherine will be remembered for her fierce personality, her quiet strength through hard times and the love she shared with those around her. Her recent fight with dementia and other health conditions is now finally at an end, with Marlana holding her hand, in restful peace.
Family and friends will be received Friday, August 8th at 10 A.M. until the time of service at 12 noon in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, Inc., 117 Blackhawk Road Beaver Falls, who was in charge of her arrangements.
