Lee Ann McNerney

I met Lee Ann many years ago at a coffee meet up.. she was a wonderful friend, and I have many a memory of camping, walking, and coffee meets where we would catch up with each other.

She always had a smile, and eyes that were full of life.

I don't know why you had to leave us.. but you'll always be in my heart. Rest in peace my friend. Susan McFarlane

Lee Ann lifted others up. Her life force was stronger than most and despite many tribulations and challenges, she always rose above every situation and came out on top.

She shared her love of learning, knowledge, and her laughter with all who crossed her path. For those who knew her, her absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled. She will be deeply missed, and never forgotten.

She built friendships across languages and cultures, led with kindness, and inspired others with her athletic drive.

Her family, her friends, her colleagues, and her students will miss her deeply, but her spirit will live on in the lives she touched.
Rest in peace, Lee Ann.

I was Lee Ann's Peace Corps Program & Training Officer in the Dominican Republic. The bus accident and air evacuation seem like yesterday. What an amazing life serving in the DR and pushing forward after the tragic accident. She's an example to us all. Heartfelt condolences to her family.

Rest easy Cuz.

I absolutely love Lee Ann. I first met her in our mid 20s in the Washington, DC area when she was studying to earn her PhD at Georgetown. Such a kind, smart, loving, humorous person! No matter what silly thing I said or did that girl laughed and laughed. Her laughter was wonderfully infectious. I´m heartbroken to hear of her tragic passing so young. She is unforgettable. Such an INSPIRATION! I will continue to hold her in my heart always. Wherever she is, she is free and happy beyond measure, and this makes me so very happy for her. Sending much loving care to all her friends, colleagues and family. RIP sweet girl.
