Leah was born February 8th, 1983 in Morgantown WV.  Daughter of Shelba Tedesco and the late Nick Tedesco.

Leah graduated Laurel Highlands High School and later attended California University. She was an intelligent individual who strived to be the best at sales and customer service.  Leah was a lover of fine cuisine and also enjoyed preparing a dish on occasions, but most of all, Leah loved to buy gifts for the ones she loved. If you said you liked something, in an instant, Leah was purchasing it for you.  Her kindness and generosity was unmatched.       

Leah was a beautiful person inside and out.  Anyone who knew Leah loved her.  Leah based her life as a loyal, loving, giving and protective person.  She loved God and she loved her children and family.  Leah focused her life around her two beautiful children, Collin and Isabella, everything she did was for them.  They were her entire world.  If you were friends with Leah, you knew you had a friend for life.  Leah was a mother, a sister, a daughter, and most of all a best friend to all.  Her bright beautiful smile and that warm loving personality will be sadly missed.

In addition to her father, she was proceeded in death by her grandparents, Joseph and Elizabeth Cupplo, Joseph and Dominica Tedesco, sister Sharon Rose Kirk, a very special aunt, Leisa Mitchell, Joyce Verbus, Jack Cupplo, Gary Dewitt, Ruthann Hebda, Bonnie Muse, Francis Ford, Katie Farris, Joseph Tedesco, Arthur Tedesco, Tony Tedesco and Patricia Hellen.

She is survived by her two beautiful children, Collin and Isabella, mother Shelba Tedesco, brother Christopher Cupplo and wife Anna Cupplo, their daughter Christina Cupplo, sister Libby Tedesco and fiancée Jesse, niece Tomi Rae Kirk and sons Adam and Nick Kirk.  Leah is also survived by a very close group of friends from childhood,  Corey Mahoney, Holly Swift, Kristina Garrison, Jennifer Jeffries, Kristen Rockwell Leigh Smitley, and Christie Hill along with many aunts, uncles and cousins especially Gia Mitchell Davis and Jimmy Polito. We all loved her dearly.
