GENEVA- Marguerite Toole “Marti” Leitner of Weinheim, Germany, died on December 10, 2016 at the age of 52 after a short illness. A Memorial Service in Rochester will be held at a later date. In Lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory may be made to OxfamAmerica.Org, or to a charity of your choice. Marti was born in Rochester. She graduated from the Harley School and the University of Denver, where she majored in hotel management. After graduation, she went to Germany as an employee of the U.S. Dept. of Defense, assuming various management positions in recreational facilities for military personnel. As her children grew older Marti made herself an expert in health insurance and advised American expats living throughout Europe and in Israel and China. Marti’s two sons were the center of her life. Her other passions were her dog, Cory, travel (she visited every country in Europe), cinema, keeping in touch with friends, and the German Alps, which she enjoyed as both hiker and cyclist. She will be laid to rest in her beloved Berchtesgaden. She is survived by her sons, Graham of Marktschellenberg, Germany and Konrad of Weinheim, Germany; her parents Betsy Lynch (Howard) Relin and Thomas Toole (Fran Weisberg); sisters, Joan Chard (Keith Eddinger) and Maura Toole; brother, T. Michael Toole (Amy); eight nieces and nephews and one grandnephew; as well as her ex-husband and dear friend Fritz Leitner.
