art was her first love. You could often find LeeAnn sketching,
drawing, or painting the day away. She loved art so much that when
she was in her 50's she enrolled in Hutchinson Community College in
Newton Ks. At 59 she graduated and received her Associates in the
Arts degree, this was one of her proudest moments in life. She was
inspirational to many through the things she accomplished and by just
being herself. LeeAnn was an amazing mother, grandmother, and a true
friend.

A. McKay; Ashley A. McKay and Cassandra L. McKay; 2 brothers Gary
