Rosemary M. Leszczynski, of Flushing, Michigan, age 86, died Friday, October 22, 2021 after a months long battle with an infection and Pneumonia worsened by a new diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a blood cancer. Her body could battle no more and is now at peace.
Rosemary was born in Detroit, Michigan at Harper Hospital on November 27, 1934 to Francis A. and Marion R. (Mercier) Grady. She attended school at St. Mary’s of Redford and an all girls Catholic school, Our Lady of Mercy High School in Detroit, MI. She later went to Highland Park Junior College and received her Medical Assistant certification in Phlebotomy. She met her husband, James C. Leszczynski, on a blind date, later marrying on July 27, 1963. She worked primarily as a homemaker in addition to jobs as an Avon sales representative, and Greeter at Rossell’s Funeral Home. She would frequently be found lending her time and money to many charitable causes including being a volunteer and Board Member of Heartbeat of Greater Flint, and member of the Friends of the Flushing Library, amongst many.
She loved to read, listen to WJR-radio, sewing, dogs, birds, Fall and all things Christmas. She is remembered by many as always smiling, spunky, spontaneous and that fun Aunt. In honor of her signature bright lipstick she was known to wear, we invite those attending her service to wear red or hot pink lipstick and/or a splash or color.
