Eda Leiggi's Obituary
Eda Marie Leiggi, 89, of Princeton passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones, on the afternoon of January 19, 2016.
Eda was born in the Chambersburg section of Trenton on March 16, 1926 as the youngest of eight children of Giovanni and Sabatina Troiani. Through her youth, she was known as being full of life and energy; occasionally skipping and singing through the alleyways of Chambersburg. It was in Trenton that she met the love of her life, Albert P. (Lashes) Leiggi, while working at the Rider College Bookstore's Trenton Campus. The energy and delight from her youth persisted into adulthood as a housewife, mother and grandmother who always took a passionate interest in the lives of her family. She always cared about the people that surrounded her. She was a devout Catholic who attended weekly mass at St. Paul's Church in Princeton, NJ.
Eda is predeceased by her parents and all seven of her siblings. She is survived by her loving husband of 67 years, Albert P. Leiggi of Princeton, son Robert Leiggi and wife Valerie of West Windsor, NJ; daughter Patricia Shulack and husband James of Hillsborough, NJ; and son Albert E Leiggi and wife Annamarie of Lawrenceville, NJ. She is also survived by five grandchildren: Matthew, Eric and Sabrina Leiggi, Joseph Shulack and Jamie Colucci and her husband Michael, along with countless nieces, nephews, family, friends and acquaintances.
Relatives and friends may gather at the Kimble Funeral Home, 1 Hamilton Avenue, Princeton, NJ on Friday, January 22, 2016 beginning 8:45AM. Funeral services will begin at 9:30AM with a funeral mass celebrated in St. Paul Catholic Church, 214 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 at 10:00AM. Burial will follow in Princeton Cemetery, Princeton, NJ.
Visiting hours at the funeral home are Thursday, January 21, 2016 from 6:00PM to 9:00PM.
