Leanne deeply loved her wonderful, close family, most of all her three wonderful sons who she was very proud of. She adored and looked forward to family reunions and vacations to Lake Sinclair every summer for twenty plus years. She loved being on the water fishing or just boat riding. So many times I heard her say, "That's my happy place". Oh yes and she loved God and cherished each and every friend. She always put others before herself and wanted to help others with their problems. She had such a big heart that touched so many… if you knew her, you loved her and you were blessed! Your life was forever changed because of her kindness and love. Finally she also loved her GA BULLDAWGS!!! She so enjoyed watching them play whether they won or lost! So today we celebrate her life, her home going and we all can look forward to seeing her again one day when we too are "called home".
