Leigh Ann Gildow-Gross, 62, passed away on the early morning of March 23, 2020 at the James Cancer Center in Columbus, Ohio after a short illness
Leigh Ann was born on the 25th of June, 1957 in Martins Ferry, OH to the late Roger and Rosemary (Starjey) Gildow who survives her of Martins Ferry.
She earned her high school diploma from Martins Ferry High School and pursued her dream of cutting hair at a cosmetology school. She moved to Texarkana, Texas for a long period of time where she worked at Picoma Industries. She had two beautiful children, Ashleigh and Joshua, and three grandchildren, Grayson, Hudson, and Daxon, whom she loved with her entire heart.
Leigh Ann was a devoted mother, sister, daughter, and grandmother. She enjoyed being with her family, camping, and singing. She was also a big problem-solver. Leigh Ann had a heart of gold and so much compassion for everyone she met. She listened to others without judgement and had a soul full of grace. She was an honest person because there was no other way to be. She will be deeply missed by her children, family, and all that knew her.
A private service will be held with interment in Riverview Cemetery, Martins Ferry.
