Antoinette M. Leach

Antoinette Marie Leach, 78, Toledo, Ohio, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, March 2, 2025. Antoinette was a lifelong member of the Toledo Community.

She had a loving family and a husband who would do anything for her. She graduated from Central Catholic High School and many of those friendships continued through her passing.

Antoinette was a talented yet humble artist and she had a flair for decorating, organizing, and refinishing. She was an ordained minister and counseled and helped many people who were struggling. She and her husband taught and managed Good News Christian Fellowship for many years. She was a great resource to ask biblical questions as she spent 50 years reading and studying the Scriptures daily.

Antoinette was very generous in word, deed, material, and monetarily. She continued to bless others through organ donation. She had such a heart for those who were hurting and she always rooted for the underdog. She had a great sense of humor and was able to laugh, celebrate, and grieve with anyone.

She was Wife, Mom, Nana Toni, friend, and much more to many people. She was an American Patriot and treasured her family and friends. Conversations would always lead to discussions about Christianity and politics and she was very passionate about both topics.

Antoinette was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 57 years, Dennis, and her parents, Rose and Herb Palm. She is survived by her brother, Rick (Karen) Palm; daughter, Jennifer (Greg) Whitlow; grandchildren, Kyle (Alyssa) Whitlow, David (Casey) Whitlow, and Alex Whitlow; great grandchildren, Braxton, Sabrina, Adaline, Kymber, and Colt; nephew, Christopher (Alisa) Palm; niece, Stephanie Neves; 1 great niece; 3 great nephews; and several surrogate grandchildren.

A private celebration of her life, accomplishments, and endearing stories will take place at a later date.
