  2. Was there a sweeter, more lovely woman than Leanna? I never met one! She was as humble, warm and welcoming as a woman can be, I so enjoyed her from the first moment we met. Leanna not only gave me the pickle recipe I am now so famous for in my family, but she also invited me over to see her process and always said to call if I had any questions. I will always think of her, especially in July when I pick up my pickles and start the process. What a blessing she has always been to me. My condolences to the family (who I also enjoyed :0); I know that you have many happy memories and am sure you feel blessed to have had such a wonderful mother…. Mary Alice

  5. So sorry to hear of the passing of dear Leana. We worked together at Peoples Federal Bank and had the most fun. We remained friends long after. She was a sweet and beautiful soul. I am sure she is rejoicing now in heaven and is with her Hank. My thoughts and prayers to her family.

  6. Our prayers are with the family. We remember so many wonderful times together and seeing the kids as they grew up when we had the opportunity to visit them in Ohio. We are so delighted Hank and Leana are together again. We remember visiting when we were living in New York and seeing the interactions among the family. We especially enjoyed the opportunities to share our 50th and 60th wedding anniversary’s together on cruises to Alaska and up the Columbia River. Both brought much joy and pleasure to all whom they knew and engaged with. Clay and Neva Whybark

  7. What a special lady! Such a joy to talk to. She is together with your dad and Carrie. I can only imagine the reunion that is taking place. With our sympathy, Dewey and Susan Garrison

  8. Leana and Hank were great friends to my parents even before I (and their children) were born. Both have been a great influence on my life. They were always interested in my family. I have many great memories going back to when I was a toddler of Hank and Leana doing things with my parents (e.g. coming home laughing about the movie they went to (the movie they wanted to see was sold out so they saw the other movie they hadn’t heard of – M.A.S.H.). They stopped in Nashville, TN twice to see me and my family on trips where they were driving around the southeast visiting friends and family. They are reunited now in Heaven with their daughter Carrie.
