Leigh Ann, a lifelong resident of Hampton, VA, passed away on December 17, 2023.  She was a lively, generous woman who most appreciated all the time spent with good friends and relatives.  On the day she passed she was visiting with her older sister who noted, "I remember her coming home from Old Dixie Hospital in May 1959; now this Christmas season I've had the bittersweet fortune to be with her for her last few days."

Leigh Ann enjoyed a brief assignment as an Eastern Airlines flight attendant, then embarked on her long-term profession working with the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe and Fort Eustis.  She performed various duties within TRADOC over her 30-plus year career, ultimately retiring as a decorated GS-13 Foreign Military Sales Training Manager.

Post-retirement, she took tremendous pleasure in bringing her childhood house in Fox Hill back to life, restoring the "Grand Old Lady" built in 1926 back into a warm, beautiful home to host family, friends, and her dog Puddy.  Over this time Leigh Ann was also the primary caregiver to her mother Ann during her final months and sustained her brother Robert throughout his extended struggle with cancer.

Leigh Ann is survived by her sister, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends she loved deeply.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared in Leigh Ann's honor at 11 AM on Friday, December 22, 2023, at Fox Hill Central Methodist Church, 501 Beach Road, Hampton, VA 23664, with interment immediately after at Clark Cemetery, 131 Beach Road.
