Beulah Irene Severn Leichter, 105, of Bridgeport, passed away on Saturday, May 16, 2015, in Bridgeport. She was born October 24, 1909, in St. Mary’s, a daughter of the late Henry J. Severn and Stella A. Noland Severn.
She was preceded by her husband, Charles D. “Buck” Leichter, Jr., on July 26, 1964.
She is survived by her nephew, Gene Dodd, Bridgeport; two great-nephews, Gene Taylor Dodd and Gary William Dodd and his wife Amy, all of Bridgeport; a great-niece, Janice Dodd Schultz and her husband Gary of Bridgeport; and several great-great-nieces and nephews and great-great-great-nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded by a brother, Ralph Severn; a sister, Lucy Dodd, her niece, Linda Sue Hubbs; and a great-nephew, Stephen Dodd.
