Leah Robinson

Leah Brigiotta Robinson, age 75, of Attica passed away peacefully at Buffalo General Hospital on September 24, 2024, surrounded by her family and friends after her courageous battle with leukemia and glioblastoma.

She was born in Jamestown, NY on June 2, 1949 to Sam and Ann Brigiotta.

Leah graduated from Brockport University in 1971 and began teaching 6th grade Math and English at Attica Middle School where she taught for 33 years before retiring in 2004. Leah was the most generous, caring, thoughtful, and selfless mother and Nana anybody could have hoped for. She loved her children and grandchildren more than anything, and gave them everything she had until the very end. She cherished her regular, usually daily, talks with her children and sister. She was proud of her children and the parents they had become. She spent countless hours caring for her grandchildren, sometimes flying across the country at the drop of a hat in order to help. Nana never missed one of the kids’ sporting events, vigorously cheering from the sidelines. She was often seen walking around town heading to the library or the park, showing off her grandkids to anyone she’d see. She loved to golf, but mostly because it involved being surrounded by family and friends. She could light up the room with her laugh and personality. Her never ending love and generosity were felt by everybody she was near.

She is reunited with her parents, Sam and Ann, her Father and Mother-in-Law Ralph and Eve, and her brothers Frank and Sam.

Her memory will be forever carried on by her husband Dale Robinson of Attica, sister Sally Ann Matey of Jamestown, children Greg Robinson of Darien, Jon (Tasha) Robinson of Charlotte, Katie (Robert) Elkins of San Diego, 6 grandchildren Michael (10), Evie (8), Cole (7), Easton (7), Nolan (4), and Nora Leahann (6 months), and many other family and friends.

Friends and family are invited to visit on Saturday, October 5, 2024 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, with a service following, at Marley Funeral Home, 135 Main St, Attica, NY. A luncheon will immediately follow at Attica’s 10th Hole & Golf Course.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Stevens Memorial Community Library or a cancer charity which may have impacted you most.
