couldn't do; she found joy in everything she did. Many family vacations were spent hunting and camping. Leaann loved playing games and all were well aware of her competitive nature. She was always on the go, shopping, lunching with friends, heading to the casino, it didn't matter where or when, if there was fun to be had, she was there. Most of all, she loved to go to her grandkids activities. She was a proud Memaw.
