She was a member of the Rats and Cats, a member of the DAVA Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 9, and a member of Good Shepard Lutheran Church.

May many warm and wonderful memories comfort you all in your time of loss. I have so many wonderful memories of "aunt Leanna". Summers at Clear Lake, and her contagious laugh will never be forgotten.
