Leeann Welbourn Obituary

Leeann Nicole Welbourn, 19, passed away on May 27, 2007 in Colorado Springs where she had been a resident for the last seven years. Leeann was a childcare worker and student in District 11. She was born to Leroy Welbourn on February 28, 1988 in Denver, Colorado and was raised by her adopted mother Mercedes Sandoval. Leeann was definitely her own person and loved those close to her. She was strong-willed and had a great sense of humor considering all she had been through in her young life. Leeann had a kinship with children and animals that came out in her work. She always wanted to do her best and was a constant cleaner and organizer. Leeann is survived by two uncles: Robert (wife Darlene) and Tim (wife Karen) Sandoval; aunt Cheryl Sandoval; adoptive parents Joseph and Kay Andrews; guardians Gail J. Jones and Joanne Howells; her fiancé Tim Henley and numerous cousins and friends. Her birth parents preceded her in death. A Celebration of Leeann's life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, June 4, 2007 at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, 3010 West Bijou, Colorado Springs, 80904.

I just found this. She was my little sister I hadn't seen her in over 20 years. I've looked for her tirelessly even had all my social networking public in hopes she would find me as I looked for her. I looked up her Father's name and found her obituary. I had been looking for Leeann Stock all these years only knowing her first name and her birthday. I never knew her middle name. I knew her Grandma Mercy to be a very sweet woman. I guess my search is over. I'm broken.

To leeann's family and friends,
I did not know Leeann very well. I meet Leeann at the Pikes Peak Workforce Center. She was a very friendly person and always had a smile on her face. To see her with Tim laughing was a great sight.She was very happy with him. I meet Tim at the Workforce center to . He always talked about Leeann. Everyone in the Workfoce center talked about her and loved her very much. She will be miss in more ways then she knows. You all are in my thoughts and prayer.

I worked with Leeann at Round Up School. I remember taking her on a walk and her telling me that no one understood her that the staff couldn't possibly understand because they had never lived in foster care. I rarely share my past with clients but in this particular moment I thought it could be helpful. I told Leeann that I too grew up in foster care and that she was capable of anything as long as she worked hard and never gave up. It brings Joy to me knowing that her life had turned around and she was doing so much for herself. She will be missed by all of us at Round Up. I had to laugh at the service today when everyone talked about how much she would clean. I too remember her being a busy cleaner always trying to organize.
