Leslie Ann Stucke, 66, of Marblehead, MA died peacefully in her sleep on October 28, 2025. Born in Marblehead’s Mary Alley Hospital on November 5, 1958, to John and Priscilla (Mock) Stucke, Leslie was a true “Marbleheader.”
Leslie was diagnosed at a very young age with cerebral palsy, but the diagnosis did not stop her from living a full life. A graduate of Marblehead High School, Class of 1977, Leslie enjoyed sailing, bike riding, ping pong, and family skiing trips. She traveled the world with her family, visiting Bermuda, Switzerland, Italy, and Sweden, among others. Leslie was First Mate of the family sloop, appropriately named the “Leslie Ann,” where she and her parents had many adventures, all of which Leslie chronicled in the sloop’s log book.
Over the decades, Leslie worked at institutions such as Anchor to Windward, Goodwill, and Harbor Sweets and she generously contributed her earnings to her niece’s and nephew’s college funds.
Many in Marblehead will remember Leslie and her parents Priscilla and John as dedicated morning regulars at the Driftwood restaurant, always sitting at the same table, ready to say hi and chat with all who passed by. Breakfast at the “DW” was invariably followed by a morning walk, which allowed Leslie and her parents the opportunity to keep up with all the goings on in Marblehead.
Leslie was predeceased by her father, mother, and older sister Susan. She is survived by cousins Kate (Mark), David (Beth), Steve (Dori), brother-in-law Jim, niece Arianna (Erik), nephew Nathaniel, and great-nephews Axel and Bror.
A memorial service will be held at the Eustis & Cornell of Marblehead, 142 Elm Street, at Noon on Thursday, December 4, 2025, followed by burial at Waterside Cemetery. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend and may call from 11:00 a.m. to Noon at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries or The ARC of Massachusetts.
