She is preceded in death by father Stephen Herron, grandmothers Charlene Hunt, Jean Stanley, Opal Herron, grandfather’s E.L. Hunt and L.A. Stanley. 

Her death was unexpected and sudden. Leah left behind an amazing legacy. Her personality was bigger then life, full of love and laughter. Each one of us were touched in some way form or fashion by her genuine desire to help, to love, to talk to, or drag into this amazing crazy family. 

As we begin on this new journey, using Leah as our example, stop someone in a store that looks troubled and give a word of encouragement, a word of affirmation, or a hug. Stop long enough in our own lives to stay connected to our family, brought together by her amazing legacy she leaves behind in each of us. Check on each other and love each other no matter the differences.
