Jean Grace Leggett

Jean Grace Leggett (nee Neitz), 91, long time resident of the Ellet neighborhood, gently went to the great cabin in the sky on New Year's Day. Born in 1926, in Akron, OH, to Chester and Mary Susan Neitz (nee Moore). Jean was President of the 6th Ward Democratic Women's Club, a tireless volunteer for the National and Ohio Federations of Democratic Women and the Democratic party, Girl Scout troop leader for troop 362, an employee of Polsky's for 17 years and 20 year employee of the Summit County Board of Elections. Her great passions were Girl Scouting, being outdoors, her cabin in PA, politics and politicians - Democrats to be exact - and her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles "Toy" Leggett Jr; sons-in-law Dave Sandor, Jerry Fraleigh; daughter-in-law Judy Leggett; and granddaughters Rachelle Sandor and Amy Harrah-Leggett. Jean was also preceded in death by her sister and three brothers. Jean is survived by her children Fran (Russ Jarvis) Sandor, Sharon Fraleigh, Chuck Leggett; her grandchildren David (Shelley) Sandor, Stephen (Adrienne) Fraleigh, Doug (Melissa) Sandor, Lisa Blank; her great-grandchildren Adam (Christina) and Alicia Sandor; Mishella (Cameron) Gass, Nika (Chris Shepard) Mase, Mackenzie and Jack Sandor, Savannah and Claire Fraleigh, Evan and Maya Blank, and great-great-grandchildren Jaiden, Damien, Cain Gass, and Liam Mase; plus her many devoted nieces and nephews and their extended families. Special thanks to the kind and wonderful staff of Danbury Woods Memory Care, Cuyahoga Falls, who lovingly cared for her the last three years during her battle with dementia. Family will receive friends on Monday January 8, 2018 from 10am-12pm at Newcomer Funeral Home 131 N. Canton Rd. Akron, OH 44305. A Celebration of Life will be held immediately following.
