LeAnn was born April 22, 1966 in Glasgow, Montana to Janice Maureen (Christensen) St. Clair and Charles St. Clair. LeAnn attended school in Glasgow, graduating in 1984. She briefly attended UND Western in Williston, North Dakota, but ultimately chose to return to Glasgow. LeAnn met Lee Nelson in 1981 while in high school in Glasgow. They eloped in 1986.
LeAnn’s life centered around her four children, Amy, Nicole, Jessica, and Beau. Although she worked a number of jobs, she always said her purpose in life was to be a mother and spend her time with her children. LeAnn suffered from a number of chronic illnesses, but always enjoyed life. LeAnn was joyful, unique, and full of life.
As a parent, LeAnn was involved in many clubs and organizations. She loved to volunteer her time and support her children’s passions and interests. Many remember her for her kindness, artistic abilities, and giving spirit. In her later years, LeAnn enjoyed crafting, being outdoors, spending time with her family, and being with her animals.
LeAnn is preceded in death by her mother, Janice St. Clair.
LeAnn is survived by her husband: Lee Nelson; children: Amy, Nicole, Jessica, and Beau; father: Charles St. Clair; sisters: Kim (Greg) Hunter, Cindy (Jim) West; and numerous other nieces and nephews and extended family.
