Leah Marie Sly, 88, of Kent, died Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at her home.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Sly In April 2014; and her daughter, Susan Jean Sly in January, 1958.
Leah attended high school in Lakewood, Ohio, where she made many lifelong friends. Following high school she attended the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University. As a Registered Nurse, she worked in several hospitals and finally retired from Western Electric where she worked as an industrial nurse. Leah was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Nothing was more important to her than the well-being of her family.
