Obituary of Mimi Jane Leggett
On February 7, 2024, our sweet, loveable Mimi Jane Leggett, went to heaven after a short illness. Mimi Jane was born January 27, 1960, in Clarksburg, WV. She was a special needs daughter of late William Randall and late Betty Ann Bickers Leggett who lovingly cared for her most of her life.
Mimi Jane was truly special. She loved everyone she met, loved to give bear hugs and didn’t want to let go. Everyone who knew Mimi Jane knew she loved socks, milkshakes, coke, and roni in the oven (macaroni and cheese). She loved going to the mall shopping for socks and for rides to look for moo cows and going through her tunnel. She loved Christmas, Santa Claus and getting presents. She knew all the nursery rhymes, children’s songs and her version of The Three Little Bears. She loved going to Muriale’s and eating ghetti (spaghetti). Her favorite phrase was “Oh you’re kidding me now”. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her.
She was the daughter of two wonderful parents, Randall and Betty who gave her a wonderful life. She is survived by her siblings Bernard Keith Leggett and wife Jeannine Thobois Leggett, Fairmont, WV; Elizabeth Bunny Guido, Fairmont, WV and Randall Richard Leggett and wife Marilyn Leggett, Niceville, FL. Her nephew Craig Harrison Guido and wife Allison Quinn Guido, Hanson, MA; their children Giovani Quinn Guido and Miles Benjamin Guido. Nephew Michael Scott Leggett of Los Angeles, CA. Nephew John Bland and Mandy of Atlanta, GA, and Niece Melissa Lake and husband Jason Lake, Salem, WV, and their children Aiden and Ethan Lake. Her aunt Carolyn Sue Gaston, cousins Penni Rexrode and Mark Day and several other cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents, brother-in-law Joseph Paul Guido, II, paternal grandparents Ralph Hayward Leggett and Gussie Ellen Squires Leggett. Maternal grandparents Bernard Basil Bickers and Florence Edna Jamieson Bickers.
