LeeAnn Modderman of Rochester, MN passed away on March 2, 2023 at Season's Hospice House in Rochester.
This is LeeAnn's handwritten obituary:
I was born to Russell and Joann Modderman on December 5, 1953 at Naeve Hospital in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Graduated from Albert Lea High School in 1973 and during my high school years was actively involved with Church of Christ. I moved to Rochester, Minnesota where I worked for Telex for 20 years and part time at Saint Mary's Gift Shop. The gift shop turned out to be my favorite job. I was a member of Rochester Assembly of God where I taught Sunday School for many years. Playing cards and games was always a highlight of my day, especially when I beat Caryl. I moved to High Pointe where I developed many new friendships and was able to be involved in many activities. Thank you to Jim and Diana for looking after and helping me.
I am preceded in death by my parents, aunts Janet Ewing and Lois Bogenschutz, cousin-in-law Lee Alaspa, and my furry companion Phoebe.
I am survived by my brothers James and Richard Modderman; and uncle Ray Ewing.
Thank you to cousins Caryl Ewing, Gary Ewing, David Ewing, Cindy Follmuth and Becky Kock for all their support. Special appreciation to Caryl for always being there for me, my best buddy Phil Chapman and friends Cindee and Mark Schimelpfenig.
At my request, there will be no services. My faith in God through Jesus has carried me through life, God bless you all!

LeeAnn was a family fiend I knew since she was born. I often ran into her at the Gift shop at St Marys as we both lived in Rochester. She always had a smile on her face. She was loved by family and friends. My sympathy to her family.

I think of LeeAnn fondly. She loved nothing more than to play games and cards and especially to beat her cousin Caryl. It was the highlight of her life. I wonder LeeAnn, did you play by Joanne’s rules? LOL Rest in peace, and my condolences to her surviving family members. Jody Derby, friend

Dear Leeann will be missed. She always had a smile on her face. LeeAnn loved her Pheobe. When Pheobe passed LeeAnn called to tell me because we share a love for fur babies. LeeAnn you are with your sweet Pheobe again & you have no pain or sorrow as you are standing in the presence of Jesus.
LeeAnn had a willingness to learn something new & the excitement when she succeeded was infectious.
May the road rise up to meet you & the wind always be at your back. I was honored to call you friend & you will be missed.
It was an honor to know LeeAnn when we both attended Assembly of God in Rochester. Her faith is amazing. Rest in peace good woman. With shared love, Jerry Porter
