Barbara E. Leskauskas

Barbara E. Leskauskas, age 79, of Manchester, NJ, passed away on Friday, February 28th, 2025. Born in Newark, NJ, Barbara grew up in West Caldwell before moving to Rockaway to start her family. Barbara enjoyed going to polka festivals where she met her current husband, Richard Leskauskas. Together, they spent most of their weekends going to polka dances and festivals. They also loved to travel, go to Disney, walk the boardwalk, and spend time with their family.

Barbara loved to shop, garden- especially her fig trees and African violets, research genealogy, and crochet. However, what she loved the most was being with her family, raising her children, and seeing her grandchildren grow up.

Barbara is survived by her devoted husband of 27 years; Richard Leskauskas, her loving children; Alison and Ken Trickilo, Joseph and Samantha Prestifilippo, Laura and Richard Leskauskas, her grandchildren; Joey and Clarita, Ashley and Michael, Ricky, Jesse, Olivia, her great grandchild; Mia, and her dear sister; Joan Petitclair and her family.

She will be deeply missed but forever in our hearts.
