Leanne Dorothy Grace

wonderful person

Always remembered as one of the finest early childhood educators I ever had the good fortune to meet and collaborate with.

Leanne brought grace to the world. Teacher, player, listener, story teller, holder of hearts, ready to laugh, dance, debate, collaborate...believer in the power of young children and the force of early childhood education. I count her as a blessing in my personal and professional journey and keep her alive in my heart.

Leanne always had a smile to share and hope to spread. she was an artist.....of fabric...but also an artist of creating loving and caring places for children and families. she was always looking to improve how we cared for families. she created a beautiful jacket for the PACCA conference a number of years ago that everyone wanted to win, including me. but i didn't win. a few months later she gifted me with an even more beautiful jacket. that was the type of person she was. Condolences...

Leanne this is not goodbye this is a I know I'll see you again soon! You made me smile every time I saw you. Your kind eyes, soft voice, and BEAUTIFUL personality will never be forgotten. I feel so privledged to say I got to be in the presence of an unsung hero, you are my inspiration and I love you so much!

You are such a beutiful person you never judged anyone and showed me how to be the professional I am today.....without your kind words, warmth and senserity I would not be where I am today! Love you so much and I will see you again

So sorry Denny.It's been years since I last saw Leanne,but I remember the good times we had in school.

The Northampton Community College Early Childhood Department is saddened to learn of the passing of Leanne. She had such a wonderful spirit and a true passion for children. Her love of the arts and Reggio inspired teachings was extensive! Our condolences to her family and the Hildebrandt community.

Leanne, we were all so fortunate to have had you in our lives. You have inspired us all to think of what could be, to be passionate in what we do, and to embrace the opportunities we have to make the world a better place for all.
