Leah Marie was born on August 4, 1968, in Billings, MT the daughter of Marvin and Linda (Sharbono) Lange. The family moved to Sidney, MT where Leah grew up and attended schools. She graduated from Sidney High School in 1988 and she remained in Sidney. Leah worked at several businesses in Sidney including, Park Plaza Motel, Richland Motor Inn, Holiday Express, Community Memorial Hospital (Sidney Health Center), and the Windham Hotel.
Leah was the best AUNTIE ever. She loved spoiling them like her own and we now have another Guardian Angel looking over us.
Her hugs and zerbert kisses were the best. She had the biggest heart and her smile lit up the room. She loved to play spot the difference and enjoyed a good puzzle. She was the 1st in line waiting for a new magazine to be released. Summer was the best season for her. She looked forward to camping, boating, and fishing. She loved to sit around the campfire with her beer & clamato or margaritas. Leah will be missed by all, but we know she is at peace for once in her life and no longer fighting the demons.
