With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Sylvia Ledbetter Leeper of Gastonia, North Carolina, who passed away on February 16, 2021 at the age of 89. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
She was predeceased by: her parents, John Riggs Ledbetter and Vera Duckworth Ledbetter; her husband Dr. William Edward Leeper, Jr.; and her sister Anita Lassiter of Davidson. She is survived by: her friend Kathy Parks; her daughters, Elizabeth J. Leeper of Tucker, GA and Zoe Patricia Leeper of Gaston County; her niece Laura Lassiter of Huntersville; and her nephew Dan Lassiter of Mooresville.
