In addition to being a beautician, she was a photographer, taking stunning photos of nature and animals, which were later published in magazines. Mrs. Leszczynski was devoted to her faith and her family, and was a proud parishioner at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church.

Surviving are her husband, Zigmund; son, Patrick Fedele and his wife, Terri, of Willet, NY; grandchildren, Jessica Iovine and Daniel Iovine; sister Anne Carpiniello, and many loving nieces, nephews, and friends near and far.
