Leanna was born and raised in rural southeastern Manitoba and moved to Winnipeg in her late teen years. She had a great love of music and was an active member of the Calvary Temple choir for over 30 years. She was a woman of unceasing prayer.

Her heart and home were opened to anyone who had need. She also loved to laugh and visit; she touched the lives of everyone who met her and knew her. The family would like to express their deepest appreciation and thanks to Dr. Caners, Rita; Dr. Harris, Carol, Valerie, Nancy and the other staff at the Concordia Oncology Clinic; Drs. Daeninck and St. Godard, Tracy, and the rest of the palliative care team who took exceptional care of Leanna.
