DR. IRVING M.
LEFTON passed
away March 30,
2022, after an
extended illness.
He had a long,
successful career as a dentist
after serving in the Army in
WWII. More importantly, he
weathered the loss of his first
wife, Sally Lefton, and had the
courage to bring two families
together when he married
Zenia Jacknow.
His love for all things family
was immense. The joy he got
from watching his grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildren
grow and thrive kept him vital
throughout his life. Irv was also
an avid reader who enjoyed
traveling, dancing and gem
cutting.
He will be so missed, espe-
cially around the dinner table
where most of his stories led off
with, “This probably goes back
30 or 40 years ago.
” The family
knows that he will forever have
a seat at the table.
Combined, the family had
seven children, Chuck Lefton
(Hannah), Mitch Lefton
(Sherry), Gerry Jacknow
(Karen), Janice Lefton, Barbara
Jacknow Shreve (Mark Shreve),
Eric Lefton (Pam) and Dale
Jacknow (Daniel Brenner).
Irv was also blessed with 10
beloved grandchildren, Steven
Lefton (Jenn), Kevin Lefton
(Nicole), Julie Lefton, Alexis
Jacknow (Rick Diaz), Alan
Shreve, Lauren Shreve, Ben
Lefton, Emma Lefton, Ari
Brenner and Kira Brenner. To
add to all those blessings, Irv
had five amazing great-grand-
children, Dylan Lefton, Owen
Lefton, Caitlyn Lefton, Caroline
Lefton and Mallory Lefton.
Interment was at Clover
