We are so sorry to hear of Leanne's passing; she fought so hard to overcome her disease, and still showed up to participate in events. The Spinner Ladies (from rendezvous) spent may years around the campfire with Leanne and her "short-legged dogs", sharing stories, laughs, food and drinks. She will be missed. As we often say, "we'll see her down the road". The Spinner Ladies Lori, Mary & Pam

I was also a member of OHS 1975. I remember Leanne as always smiling, always kind, always athletic. Rest in Peace.
