Class of 1964
We had the good fortune to know LeeAnne when she lived in Tenn. Everybody loved her. She was the life of the party here too.
We had the privilege of graduating with her in 1964. We all get together at Milan High School every five years. We honor those that have gone on before us. LeeAnne will be added in 2023 Much love to our friend.

Miss LeeAnne was the life of the party at Robert Gray. It was a coveted position to be able to serve as a student crossing guard with her. She brought so much joy and laughter to both parents and students, with her amazing hats and cheerful personality. My son treasured the hat she gave him when she retired. This world is a little dimmer without the light she shared. My heartfelt condolences.
