LEANN GROSS

LeAnn is many things to many people—a devoted mother to Tori and Cole, a loving wife alongside Brian, and a cherished daughter to Steve and Roxane. Over time, her family has grown in the best ways, welcoming a bonus daughter, Logan, and two grandsons, Kaiden and Rowan, who continue to bring her endless joy and purpose.

Known for her kindness and generosity, she has always been someone others can count on. Whether it’s offering a helping hand, showing up when it matters most, or simply being there as a steady source of support, she has built her life around caring for others. She never expected that one day, she would be the one needing that same care in return.

Her journey took an unexpected turn when what seemed like a simple pain became something much more. Like so many, she had no way of knowing what it would lead to. That moment marked the beginning of the greatest challenge of her life—a battle with cancer that she is actively fighting today.

But even in the face of uncertainty, she remains who she has always been: strong, smart, and full of life.

This diagnosis does not define her. It does not mark the end of her story—it is simply a chapter she did not choose, one she is meeting with courage, determination, and resilience.

Throughout this journey, she continues to be surrounded by an incredible outpouring of love and support. Friends, family, and even those who may not know her well have reached out with prayers, messages, and acts of kindness. It has been a powerful reminder of the impact she has had on so many lives, and of the strength that comes from community.

She is not finished. She is still fighting. There are more memories to make, more laughs to share, and more adventures ahead—and she fully intends to experience them all.

Her fight is not only for herself, but for others as well. She hopes her story encourages anyone who may be ignoring signs or delaying care to listen to their body and seek help. Early detection, including routine screenings like colonoscopies, can make all the difference.

Through it all, she continues to choose hope, she continues to choose strength, and through every step of this fight, she leans on her faith, her family, and the love that surrounds her.

Her story is still being written—and she is still in the fight.
