Margaret Mary (Margie) Leonard, 63, of Henderson, NV, passed away on January 16, 2025, at North Vista Hospital, North Las Vegas, NV, after a courageous battle with long COVID.  Margie was born in Wilmington, DE, and was the daughter of the late Joseph W. and Margaret T.

Margie attended Kennett High School and graduated in 1979 from Helix High School in La Mesa, CA.  Margie was an Infectious Disease Hospitalist in the Las Vegas area.  She graduated from the University of North Florida with her BSN and the University of South Florida with two ARPN degrees.  Margie was also a 1st Lt in the Army Reserves Nurse Corps.  She spent many years as a travel nurse working ICU’s, CCU’s, NICU’s and ER’s around the country and eventually settled in Las Vegas where she worked for over 20 years.

Margie loved all things Irish, her dogs (Missy and Dolly), and the Vegas Golden Knights.  Margie will be deeply missed by her family and the Las Vegas medical community.  She loved her patients and did whatever she could for them.

Margie will be buried in the family plot at St. Patrick Cemetery, Kennett Square, PA, in a private service at a later date.
