Leda was a member of the Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church in Bloomsburg where she was in charge of the church nursery for 39 years. "Grandma Leda" will always be loved and cherished by three generations for her love and guidance.

She grew up on East Eighth Street and the group still meets annually in the Town Park and they all wear shirts saying "I survived Rainbow Terrace."

In addition to parents and husband, she was preceded in death by two brothers: Robert Rupert and Bruce Fedder; by two sisters: L. Arline Levan and Elsie E. Kershner and a great grandson, Tylar Shultz-Yuhas.

Leda is survived by five children: Lorraine Shultz, and her companion Morris Gensel, Bloomsburg; Karen, wife of Roger Carr, Bloomsburg; Jay Wintersteen, and his wife Edel, Milton, Fla.; Brenda, wife of Gary Appenzeller, Oreland; Marie Wintersteen, and her companion Terry Weaver, Bloomsburg; six grandchildren: Tom Shultz, Tanya Bauman, Clint Carr, Jason Wintersteen, Denise Yuhas and Crystal Lane; 13 great-grandchildren: Tyler, Damien, Christian, Kyu, Becca, Mackenzie, Gen, Jonathan, Tristin, Logan, Savannah, Nathaniel and Gabriel; one great-great-grandson, Carter and her twin sister, Reba Mericle of Bloomsburg. There are also a number of nieces and nephews 

A Celebration of Life Memorial service will be held at a later date, once the threat of Covid-19 subsides.
