Catherine Grace Lasker Leach, native of Whistler and longtime resident of Saraland passed away April 11, 2021. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. Her faith in God, kind heart, warm smile and love for her family were unsurpassed. She was 87 years old.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Bobby Leach, daughter Virginia (Ginny) Easterling, her parents, Lee and Katherine Alberta Lasker and brother, Ralph Holmes. She leaves to cherish her memory, a daughter, Elizabeth (Lee) Sessions and a son, Joe (Doris) Leach, her brother, Mark (Sybil) Lasker and her grandchildren; Dr. Amy (Stephen) McKay, William Sessions, Ryan Sessions, Jennifer (Michael) Green, Brian West, Brandy Taylor and Shane Easterling and a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other family and many, many wonderful friends.
Catherine was always the "Grandma with no rules". If mom and dad said no, Grandma always said yes. If you had a problem, she had an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, great bits of wisdom to share, or a prayer for peace of mind no matter what time of the day or night you needed her. Her passing has left a huge hole in our hears but we are comforted knowing she is in heaven watching over us and guiding us still as we remember her daily.
The family would like to say a special thank you to the SAADS Hospice Car staff for their care of mom during her last days. Also, the family would like to than Stacy Dickens Sessions for her constant care of mom and to Jennifer Green for being there for not only mom but for all of us during her illness and passing. We know you wouldn't have had it any other way and for this we love you and are truly blessed.
We also send our love and much gratitude to Ms. Tammy Duiett for not only the gentle, tender care she gave mom but also her love, devotion and friendship. You are truly an angel on earth.
