Martha A. Livingston Leaf, 68, Anderson, died September 17, 2007, at Community Hospital, Anderson, after a brief illness.
She was born January 30, 1939, in Steubenville, Ohio, the daughter of Carl Sr. and Anna Eleanor Higgins Livingston. She was a longtime resident of Anderson and a graduate of Anderson High School. She was a nurse’s assistant and day-care provider. She was selfless and the world is greatly diminished by her departure. She was a member of St. Ambrose Catholic Church. She loved being with her family and friends. Survivors include her husband, Larry J. Leaf, whom she married June 29, 1963, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Anderson; two daughters, Patricia L. husband, John S. Prince Leaf-Prince of Muncie and Amanda K. Leaf of Bloomington; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ron and Nancy Leaf of Avon.
She adored and was adored by eight-year-old grandson Nathaniel Croft who no doubt would have equally cherished her grandbaby on the way. She is also survived by a granddaughter, Charmayne E. Thomas; and several nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl Sr. and Anna Eleanor Higgins Livingston. Marty’s only son, John, was tragically killed in 2001, an event from which her heart and soul never recovered.
She was also preceded in death by a sister, Eleanor Lee Nelson; brother, Carl Livingston Jr.; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Frances A. and Frederick J. Leaf.
