LeAndra was a bright spot in so many people's days while she was at the Collins coffee shop. I always looked forward to getting a coffee because I knew that LeAndra would be there. She was the warmest, kindest person and It was so clear how much she loved her family.

LeAndra was one of my favorite people when I worked at Collins. She was always so happy; I think I went to the Coffee Shop at Collins as much to see her as it was to get something to drink. She loved her family and was always telling me about them and showing pictures. I had hoped that I would see her again, but that will not happen. Please know that she had many friends at Collins.

LeAndra was always a friendly face for me and the other Midway kids growing up. I fondly remember her taking me and Matt to watch the Flintstones movie for Matt's birthday, and how she always made me feel welcome. My thoughts and condolences are with everyone who was fortunate to know her.

Our thoughts and prayers to family and friends.
Her smile captures her essence.
How do you describe a person's essence?
Essence is whatever most sums up the heart and soul of something, its truest most indispensable qualities.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I knew LeAndra from the coffee shop at Collins. The little shop was just outside of where I worked. I do believed I drank more speciality coffee because of her. Loved going out to chat with her. She helped me figure out what combination I liked best, then wrote it on a little piece of paper and put it her drawer for safe keeping. When I retired she came to the gathering carrying a cup of that special coffee and a muffin. LeAndra was the sweetest, kindest person and always had a smile on her face! She was loved by many.

You always made my day a little brighter and had a wise crack or two when I saw you in the hallway. You were my "Barrista" and turned me on to Vanilla Frappuccino's the way you made them. Rest in peace, you left us way too soon. Peace to your family.

LeAndra was the sweetest lady. I enjoyed getting to know her at the Rockwell Collins coffee shop. She memorized so many people’s orders and always had a smile on her face. She loved talking about her family and sharing pictures of her grandkids. She was such a proud grandma! LeAndra was a joy to be around and touched many lives with her kindness. My sympathy to her family.

LeAndra was like a mom to me as well as many others that were not family by blood. From babysitting me to taking me on family outings to the pool, to the park and various other family things. She always made me feel welcome and like I had a 2nd home. She was a very wonderful woman in every way you can think and will be so so missed by many. I am so sorry for this huge loss to the family but know that a part of her lives on in each and every one of you and that she is very proud of each of you and loves you very much.
