Over the next 10 years, she greeted 5 siblings in Ogden, UT, Boulder, CO, Fremont, CA, and San Pedro, CA as the family grew. She was an exemplary sister and daughter, eager to please her parents. At the age of 14, she moved with her mother and siblings to Orem, UT. She was strongly influenced by her mother but also by four kind grandparents and many aunts and uncles. She graduated with her friends from Orem High School in 1974. She spent a magical summer working in the Old Faithful area of Yellowstone National Park as a “Pillow Pusher” and chasing the boys.

After a divorce and a few years, she met Matthew Morris in the Singles Ward in Logan and they were married in the Logan Temple on June 24, 2000. They made their home together in Nibley, UT, for the last 25 years.
Leeann was also blessed with friends that truly blessed her life. She enjoyed serving them and being lifted by friendship and time together. One of her favorite activities was reading time to many of the neighborhood children on her porch. She loved education and often read books and enjoyed researching on the world wide web.
