Leanne was born August 2nd, 1972. She grew up in Saskatchewan and always stayed true to her humble, friendly, and honest prairie roots. After medical school and an Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the University of Saskatchewan, she moved to BC in 2001 to complete her Maternal Fetal Medicine fellowship and a Masters of Health Sciences in Epidemiology at the University of British Columbia. She joined the Division of MFM at UBC and BC Women’s Hospital in 2004 where she pursued her passions in teaching, research, and quality assurance while delivering firstclass care to her high-risk patients. Her Bouvier des Flandres dog Jasper was a source of great delight and endless funny stories to Leanne and greeted her with love and affection after a long day of work. She lived her life by her pillars of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and truth. Her love and pride for her children and husband were evident every day when she was at her work. Her humour, infectious laugh and sunny disposition will be sorely missed by all those fortunate enough to have had her pass through their lives. She loved living on the North Shore and coming home to her family across the bridge to be surrounded by the mountains and ocean. She will be dearly missed by all but never forgotten.
