Leketta Sue Giselbach, age 86, of Fairmount, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 5, 2026, at Elwood Health and Living following an extended illness. Born on April 11, 1940, in Madison County to James Edward and Lova Leona (Dale) Crouch. Leketta was a 1958 graduate of Fairmount High School. On October 1, 1978, she married the love of her life, Raymond C. “Jim” Giselbach. Together, they shared more than 48 years of devoted marriage, built on unwavering faith and love.

Leketta’s strength of will and steadfast faith were evident in every aspect of her life.

A lifelong, faithful member of Harmony Christian Church, Leketta was active in the Ladies Aid and served as a representative for Rainbow Christian Camp.

Leketta and Jim cherished their years traveling together, creating memories on cruises and spending peaceful winters in Florida. Yet, her heart was always most at peace at their beloved farm home. Leketta will be remembered as a loving wife, a woman of deep faith and strong will, and a true friend to all who knew her.
