Sciotoville Resident

FC Daehler Mortuary

Cynthia "Leigha" Youck was called home to the Lord on September 17, 2025 in Sciotoville, Ohio surrounded by her loving family. Leigha could light up a room with her smile and warm a heart with her kind words or the hugs she loved to give. Leigha was an expert shopper, and she delighted in using her skills for all holidays (especially Christmas), birthdays, special occasions or a whim. She was sweet, spunky and fun. Leigha enjoyed decorating, gardening, dancing and relaxing on the boat with family and friends. She was a devout Christian and was proud to proclaim her faith to those around her. She strengthened her faith as an active member of several congregations and in private prayer and meditation. Leigha was a loving wife and a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and loved being with the extended family.

Leigha was born in Rantoul, Illinois on August 7, 1955 to Samuel and Barbara Bever. She had three sisters Elizabeth ("Lynn"), Lori, Lisa and a brother Matthew. Leigh was a 1973 graduate of Rantoul Township High School (Illinois) and attended Eastern Illinois University where she studied Early Childhood Development. She used those childhood development skills at Cunningham Children's Home and Heritage School District but was happiest when nannying for individual families.

Leigha is survived by her loving husband Bill, daughters Rebecca Davis (Gene), Kelly Youck, Caitlin Calloway (Adam), grandchildren Paige Flesner (Brandon), Parker Flesner, Peyton Flesner, Chloe Calloway and Vivian Calloway and one great-grandchild Kayson. She is also survived by her sister Lori Ehmen (Charlie) and brother Matthew Bever (Natasha).

Leigha is predeceased by her father Samuel and mother Barbara along with her sisters Lynn and Lisa.
