Linda D. Leaf

Linda D. Leaf, 69, of West Chester, PA, passed away peacefully on August 31, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on February 26, 1956, in West Chester, PA, to the late Peggy (Blackwelder) Davis and Vernon Davis.

Linda shared 48 wonderful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Gerry Leaf. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, family, and tradition. For more than 35 years, Linda worked alongside Gerry at their family business, Leaf Floor Covering, where she became a trusted presence and a friend to many in the community.

Her greatest joy in life was her family. Linda was a proud mother to Kelly (Leaf) Green and her husband David, and Ryan Leaf and his wife Leigh. She adored her grandchildren—Rowan, Sawyer, and Dawson—and took immense delight in making holidays, especially Christmas, magical for them.

Linda cherished time spent with her sisters, Susan Branca and Cathy Flammer, and remained close to her childhood friends, often meeting them for lunches filled with laughter and stories. Summers were especially dear to her, as she found peace and happiness in Ocean City, NJ, soaking up the sun and relaxing on the front patio.

She will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and the love she poured into her family and friendships.

A visitation will be held on Friday, September 5th, from 9:00–11:00 AM, followed by a memorial service at 11:00 AM at Alleva Funeral Home (1724 E Lancaster Ave, Paoli, PA 19301) . A luncheon will take place at The Jockey Tavern at 12:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Unite for Her in West Chester, PA, in Linda’s memory.

Linda’s legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched and the family she so deeply loved.
