LeAnn had worked for the Rock Island Arsenal and Royal Neighbors but recently found her calling by starting her own business. After receiving her cancer diagnosis, she wanted to help others and received training to become a certified Cancer Coach and was opening her own business, The Farmacy Wellness Experience.
LeAnn lived a simple life, but she enjoyed life and spending time with all her friends and family. She especially enjoyed shopping, live music, and was the social butterfly of the family. She truly was the life of the party. Her children were her heart and soul. She loved traveling to the mountains or ocean, camping, bike riding or just going to one of her children’s school or sporting events.
