Leeann Faith Heinrich

Leeann Faith Heinrich, age 79, passed away on December 1, 2025.

She is survived by her children, Wayne Heinrich Jr., Kimberly Chapman, and Lucas (Jessica) Heinrich; her grandchildren, Forrest Chapman IV, Gabriel Heinrich, and Faith Heinrich; and her great-grandchild, Forrest Chapman V. She was preceded in death by her parents, Melvin and Mae Tracey.

Leeann dedicated her career to serving as an Administrative Assistant for several companies, most notably within public school districts. Known for her lightning-fast typing skills and strong work ethic, she brought organization and heart to everything she did.

Though she once dreamed of breeding, training, and showing dogs, her love for them never faded. Leeann was a gifted pianist and a true artist, mastering cross-stitching, painting, knitting, and crocheting. Her home reflected her creativity and talent, and hearing her favorite songs played on the piano brought joy to those around her. She had a special fondness for carousels and cherished her collection of Emmett Kelly collectibles.

Leeann will be remembered for her warmth, her quiet strength, and her unforgettable poker face — often hiding a mischievous grin while cleverly pulling one over on those she loved. Her laughter, guidance, and steady presence will be deeply missed.

A memorial service will be held on March 20, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m. at: Chapel Hill Gardens South 11333 S. Central Ave. Oak Lawn, Illinois 60453
