She also leaves behind numerous grand nieces and nephews.

Lee Ann had a passion for mystery books and was an avid fan of Dr. Who. She found joy in online video puzzle games and had a special fondness for cooking, particularly Christmas cookies. Her cats, Seamus and Baby, were her cherished companions.

She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, Judy Ellenwood, brother-in-law, Gene Ellenwood, and brother-in-law, Wesley Woodliff, as well as a close friend, Jenny Chapman.
