Leah Falk, age 58 of New London, passed away peacefully with family surrounding her on Friday January 16, 2026 after a fierce, but short battle with cancer at ThedaCare, Neenah. She was born on January 21, 1967. She was in a committed relationship with Bart Gorges since September 12, 1984.

Leah grew up on a farm and held onto that love for animals her entire life; from the horses she raised, the outdoor animal sanctuary she created, to never being without a cat in the house. She also volunteered and donated to humane society whenever she had a chance.

Her selflessness was part of every aspect of her life. Her kindness and generosity were seen by most but undoubtedly felt by her family, nieces, and honorary children. Which she would bring together with summer BBQ's, where she would defend relentlessly her devotion to the Dallas Cowboys.

She is survived by her boyfriend Bart Gorges, chosen daughter Tiffany Gorges,  brother Bradley (Sailor) Falk; nieces Bea (Andy) Norby-White, Troi Snitselaar-Falk , Samantha (Kyler) Falk, and Isabella (Samuel) Falk; great nieces and nephews Theodore, Ivan, Rosalea, Adalind, Jaxsin, Novalea, Nataliah, Babe Xebel, Cerberus, Raedyn, Sophie, and Polaris; her father Gary Falk, brothers-in-law Bryon Gorges, Bob Gorges , Bill (Carrie) Gorges , Gene (Lori) Gorges , Jerry (Barb) Gorges, and sister-in-law Michele Gorges. She is also survived by her many more nieces and nephews; Grant Gorges, Summer (Ree) Lee, Logan (Tina) Gorges, Nichole (Carl) Luedtke, Kristopher (Andreia) Gorges, Brady (Katie) Gorges, Baylee (Blair) Gorges, Austin (Melissa) Gorges, Jamie (Rachel) Gorges, Emily (Nick) Gorges, Morgan Gorges, and Hunter (Isabella) Gorges and Oscar

Leah was preceded in death by her mother Vivian Falk, brother-in-law Scott Gorges and mother-in-law Patricia Gorges.
