LEIGH BRODSKY Obituary

Leign Anne was a passionate, generous, brilliant colleague and friend at Nick whose light filled every room she entered. So many of us were blessed by her talent, guidance, warmth, and that great smile. We will all miss her. Sending love and condolences to her family at this time.

Breathtaking brilliance from her smile to her intellectual curiosity and unbridled caring...Virtual hugs to all that are hurting. Another angel just got her wings.

I am so sad to hear this news. I knew Leigh Anne from Holy Cross. She was the lead in Guys and Dolls with me. She was beautiful inside and out and had a voice like an angel. Dementia is a horrible disease....it took a wonderful human being from us at such a young age. My thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.

Condolences to the family of Leigh Anne Cunningham Brodsky, Holy Cross '80. She was a fun young woman, and I am sure she added sunshine and kindness to the everyday lives of her family and friends in the last 45 years. Prayers are offered for her and her family.

Greg, Allie, and Daniel,

My heart is breaking at this sad news. Your wife and mother was nothing short of a full-blown dynamo! I have such fond memories of doing shows together at Holy Cross and just hanging out with our friends. Her loss will be deeply felt.

It is hard to find words for the loss of someone who shaped so much of who you are. Leigh Anne was that person for me. A brilliant leader, a generous mentor, and a dear friend.

Her creative spirit and fearless authenticity inspired everyone around her. She saw possibility where others saw limits, and she did it all with grace, humor, and heart. Leigh Anne taught me how to lead with empathy and to dream without apology. These are lessons I carry with me. Miss you LAB. Rest in Peace.

I will miss her deeply, but I´m grateful for the time, wisdom, and kindness she shared so freely. The industry has lost a legend, and I´ve lost a friend.

May her memories be a blessing, and her light continue to guide those of us lucky enough to have known her.

Cunningham Family-my deepest condolences. Very sad news - she left us way too soon. Prayers and love for you all.

My last 3 years at MTV Networks were dedicated on Nickelodeon's Kids & Family Group and I had the honor and privilege to work with Leigh who welcomed me in warmly and gave me my first deep dive into the consumer products world she ran so wonderfully. She gave me her trust to do great work for her and her team and as the years went on, and we went on to other companies in the same space, we stayed in touch. She was always there to help and advise and give her own time to me for other purposes. She always told me about her wonderful husband and her children that she was so proud of. Lovely, elegant and a master in all things - it's been a true honor and pleasure to have known and work for Leigh. I'm deeply saddened by her passing and send my condolences to her family during this challenging moment. Best, Brent Sudduth

I was lucky enough to work with Leigh Anne at Nickelodeon and she was one of the best leaders I've ever encountered. My sincerest condolences to her family for their loss.

Dear Leigh Anne,
It was a joy to raise our wonderful sons together. Your insight was spot on, especially when you taught me that nothing replaces cream and butter.
I always admired you. Your smile was infectious. We always had fun....cub scouts, book club, Maine etc.
Rest in peace Beautiful Lady. Never stop smiling.
With love,
Beth

To the beloved family,

I met Leigh Anne during my time at Nickelodeon, and we worked together throughout her time at the company. She is unforgettable. There was something about Leigh Anne´s smile that just drew me in. Her smile was infectious, reassuring, and kind. She radiated light.

Although she was an executive, she was grounded and full of grace. One year during the holidays, Leigh Anne gifted me a huge teacup of fine china, and whenever I pull it out, I think of her. Today, as I sip from my cup, I will pray for the comfort and peace of those she has left behind.

Leigh Anne made the world feel softer and brighter simply by being herself. I am deeply grateful that our paths crossed and that I had the privilege of knowing her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. May her beautiful spirit live on in all who loved her.

With sympathy and love,
Delliah Bond

Dear Greg and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Leigh Anne. Her beautiful smile lit up every UM event I attended with Bob over the years and made her among the most memorable of that congenial band. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow.
Warm wishes,

My Dear Leigh Anne, you will always be my best friend and in my heart forever. I love you so very much. <3<3<3

I worked with Leigh Anne at United Media. She was always the bright light whenever I was near her. So sad to hear of her passing.

Leigh Anne was a good friend though I worked too few days with her. She always was smiling and believed in all of us. May she have peace. Judy Sladky/peanuts

I offer my deepest condolences to Leigh Anne 's husband and children.
I happened to be in Leigh Anne's international team until I left Nickelodeon Consumers Products in 2009. It was a tough though exciting time, working on the international publishing categories for Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob. I remember our chats in Tokyo, the synergy meetings in New York, how she was so kind to my partner and how she managed to be a deeply human person in the midst of the corporate maelstrom. I wish we had worked together longer. And I still treasure the memory of a lovely conversation in Bologna on the Peanuts' booth in Bologna perhaps in 2012. And I also vividly remember this conversation in New York near Pier 60. She was wearing flip flops and was talking about her upcoming weekend driving her daughter up to summer camp and going to a party on the way back. I must have congratulated her on her energy and she simply answered: "we have a good life".

I knew Leigh Anne in High school and college (roommates). We shared so many laughs and fun times. She was a powerhouse in every way and such a thoughtful, caring person. Love to all who are missing her ...
