Leann Renee Hamann, 56, of Rothbury, tragically passed away Wednesday, December 31, 2025. She was born July 24, 1969, in Memphis, Tennessee, to the proud parents of Glenn and Coral (Lohse) Hamann.
Leann was a sensitive, loving, empathetic and determined woman who was fiercely strong yet endlessly giving. She had a quick sense of humor and laughed along with pride, recognizing the joy she brought to others. She had a firm hand when it was needed but an even bigger heart. Her greatest joys in life were her children and being a grandmother. Leann had a loving, passionate soul and was a caregiver at heart and throughout life. She spent much of her life as a caregiver and was seen as the "mom" of every residential home she was employed with. She opened her arms to anyone in need and was truly a mother to many. She will be remembered for her endless energy and unique sense of humor, her endless love of nature and pets.
Leann, known throughout her life for helping others, continued to give following her death by donating the Gift of Life through organ, bone and tissue donation. Leann was always her family's hero, and even at her time of death, she was a hero to many. She is helping to end the needless suffering and ultimately save lives and change many for the better. She has given the gift of life, even at her end.
Leann will be missed by: her children, Alex (Aya Pitones) Hamann, Merritt (Reilly Jacobson) Hamann, and Kyra (Adam Leale) Hamann; grandchildren, Shavar, Genesis and Oaklynn Hamann; brothers John (Michelle) Hamann and Kyle Hamann; nieces, Tami (Sabrina Vitiello) Edwards, Kaitlyn Hamann, Cassidy Hamann and Brieann Hamann; nephews, Jim (Barbie) Edwards, Aaron Olson, Grady Hamann and Dylan Rowe; great-nephew, Aidan Olson, and great-niece, Abby Olson; as well as many friends who loved her as family.
