Iro Leasure, 71
Iro Leasure, 71, Rochester Mills, Cemetery-obituaries?utm_source=partner_genlookups&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=genlookups_July21_textlink&tr_ad_group=textlinks&tr_funnel=supersearch">died Monday, Feb. 2, 2004, at Indiana Regional Medical Center.
Mrs. Leasure was born Feb. 25, 1932, in Athens, Greece, the daughter of the late Dennis and Nota Caponis.
She married Phillip B. Leasure of Rochester Mills, who survives.
In 1942, her homeland was invaded by the Nazi Army, causing much fear and grief. As she grew from and enjoyed the experience of Europe - namely the Greek culture - she obtained a love and appreciation of the ocean, the fine arts and classical music, and she completed 13 years of concert piano instruction.
All of these experiences contributed to her craving for the life she could only dream of. Mrs. Leasure spoke five languages fluently, which proved to be yet another asset in the following of that dream to live in a free America. She found that dream in a small town in Pennsylvania, where she incorporated her cultural expressions with her newly-adopted and genuinely-loved country.
In that small town, Mrs. Leasure enjoyed her life, family, friends, associates and career with the same love, tenacity, intensity and enthusiasm she will always be remembered from in Greece and the United States.
Mrs. Leasure worked as an executive sales manager for Tupperware for more than 20 years. She was a member of the American Diabetes Association and past volunteer of Open Door in Indiana.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by two daughters, Phillis N. Leasure of Rochester Mills and Elizabeth D. Greer of Sterling, Va.
