The Seattle Seahawks lost their 12th (wo)man on February 8, 2024, and the decibel level from the loss of her cheering and shouting will never be the same!
Leah spent her childhood in the outer Seattle area, where she embraced her feistiness to excel in Taekwondo, earning her gold medals. At 17, she moved back to Montana, and fell in love with the outdoors: hunting, fishing, camping, and gardening; but nothing compared to days on the lake perfecting her mad skills on a kneeboard or wave runner, and late-night campfires surrounded by family and friends. Leah possessed a passion for life, often showing her quirky dance moves or singing along to songs of every genre, from rap to country. That passion also extended to her career, whether it was in sales (she could sell ice cubes at the North Pole), as a mortgage broker, bartending, or her most recent love as an insurance agent. Leah always had her heart set on being the best, and providing the best service. She excelled in both, with many loyal clients and customers becoming life-long friends along the way. Leah loved spending time with family and friends; with many great get togethers, adventures, and memories made. Oh, the stories to be told! Leah’s greatest pride were her children, “Bubba” and “Rooty Poo Punkin Britches.” She could always be found cheering them on from the sidelines of their sporting events, and just in life in general. They are on their way to great things, and she was so proud of both of their accomplishments, loving them deeper than the ocean and beyond the moon. If only we could all be as energetic and organized as Leah; always ready for a get together, house always spotless, purse full of Cholula hot sauce packets and floss picks, and a spare bedroom always ready for overnight guests. It’s an extreme understatement to say Leah will be missed by many. Rest your restless soul. Until we meet again!
Leah is survived by her children: “Bubba” Caden; “Rooty Poo Punkin’ Britches” Rylie; “Kitty Kitty Meow Meow” Jerry; dad and step-mom, Tim and Debbie; mother, Kathy; sisters, Brenda and Crystal; brothers, Stephan and Tim; and many other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, and “adopted” children, you know who you are!
There will be a service/celebration of life for Leah on Saturday, April 6th, at 4:30 p.m. at the Florence Carlton Community Church located at 20075 Old US Highway 93 in Florence.
