Joan M. (Diehr) Leasure

ZANESVILLE

Joan M. Leasure 90, of Zanesville went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday December 14, 2022, at Cedar Hill Care Center.

She was born in Canal Winchester, Ohio to the late Walter and Margaret E. Burnett Diehr. Joan was employed by The Brush Pottery Company for 15 years, Graham & McClelland Law Firm and retired from The Carr Center.  She was a member the Muskingum County Genealogical Society, where she previously held many offices and Friends of the Library. Joan enjoyed genealogy and has traced her ancestry back for many centuries. Her greatest joys were helping The Carr Center with their cake auction and spending time with her family.

She is survived by her daughter Valerie L. (Robert) Richards, eight grandchildren, seven greatgrandchildren and two very close friends Amy Morris and Tracy Miller.

She will be reunited in Heaven by her parents, two sons: David M. Leasure and Jon Patrick Leasure, and a grandson Matthew Dale Walters.

A quote from Joan, “Treasure the Gift of Life.”  Memorial contributions may be made to The Carr Center, 1035 Beverly Avenue, Zanesville, Ohio 43701.

Visitation will be from 11-1 pm on Monday December 19, at THE SNOUFFER FUNERAL HOME 1150 WEST MILITARY ROAD ZANESVILLE. Services will follow at 1pm in The Snouffer Chapel with Chaplain Jason Boggs officiating.  Burial will follow in Woodlawn Cemetery.
