Autumn Tisdale was born to Traci Tisdale and Richard Leffew on June 24, 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky.  The day that she was born was full of beauty and sunshine. Autumn became the embodiment of this light for her family and friends whom she always supported with her radiant smile and angelic laughter.

She was a loving person who had an affection for art and drawing, playing Fortnite and shopping. She was a foodie who loved to share laughter and good times at the dinner table. Her favorite meals were spaghetti, her own special homemade tacos, and Burger King.

Autumn, our beautiful ray of sunshine, attended Iroquois High School where she was an esteemed member of the advanced program. Not only was she listed among the Who’s Who in graduating seniors of 2016, but she soared to the top of her class and graduated with distinguished academic honors in 2016. After high school Autumn worked for Wolverine, and Grainger where she excelled as a world class warehouse worker. A proud aunt, Autumn loved to spend time with her nephew, Christian. They would play and explore Louisville’s world-renowned parks for hours.

Autumn is preceded in death by her mother, Traci Tisdale; grandmother, Glenda Tisdale; and grandfather, James Hardin. She leaves to cherish her memory her great-grandmother, Jennie P Tisdale; her father Richard Leffew; her sisters, Amber Tisdale (Eh Doh Htoo), Madeline Nicole Seewer; her brothers, Brandon Tisdale, Dustin Tisdale; her nephew, Christian Htoo; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Autumn was a spiritual, and loving person. She loved to smile and laugh, and she cared deeply for her friends and family. The light of her smile will be an everlasting light in our hearts. She will be missed beyond words.
