Ann Harbin Leisy

March 8, 1932 – October 17, 2025

Ann Harbin Leisy, longtime resident of Montgomery, passed

away peacefully in the comfort of her home on Lake Martin,

surrounded by her loving and devoted children, on October 17,

2025.

She was born in Miami, Florida, on March 8, 1932, to the late

Charles Theodore and Anna Mary Campbell Harbin.

She is survived by her three beloved children, Ann Harbin

“Nunu” Nutting (Bill), Anna Marie “Mimi” Rush (Ken), and

Henry Eric Leisy (Melissa); her youngest brother, whom she

adored, Robert “Bobby” Harbin of Alpharetta, Georgia; and

her dearly loved grandchildren, Katherine Ann Leisy Umfress

(Trey), Charles Henry Leisy, Anna Marie Nutting, and

Winston Leisy Rush.

She is also survived by her first great-grandchild, Mary

Campbell Umfress; step–great-granddaughter, Elliott Umfress;

as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

She was preceded in death by her former husband and father of

her children, Colonel Henry J. Leisy; and her brothers,

Michael Grosvenor “Jere” Harbin of Montgomery and

Charles T. Harbin of Kissimmee, Florida.

Ann received her education at the University of Alabama and

the New York School of Interior Design, and was a member of

the Institute of Business Designers. This foundation guided her

in numerous business ventures during her younger years. She also enjoyed a successful career investing in real estate

throughout Montgomery, Lake Martin, and the Gulf Coast.

She appreciated all things beautiful—such as the fine arts of

music, ballet, cathedrals, museums, and traveling the world. She

was active throughout her lifetime in numerous civic, social, and

religious organizations in Montgomery. Ann’s life was marked

by generosity, joy, and a strong faith. She was a true Southern

lady who exemplified grace and dignity.

At Ann’s request, a private graveside service for immediate

family will be held at Greenwood Cemetery, with Father

Andrew Rowell of Christchurch officiating.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Ann’s memory

Donations will provide children in the Sebei Diocese with

education, clothing, and nutrition.

The family expresses great gratitude to Enhabit Hospice

caregivers and Elizabeth “Scooter” Copeland for their comfort

and compassion.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have

kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of

righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award

to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have

longed for His appearing.”

— 2 Timothy 4:7-8
