Leah Claire Lynch was born April 21, 2008 in Fort Dodge. Growing up she was a tomboy through and through. She loved to play outside riding sticks and using her imagination. As a teenager, Leah still loved outdoor activities, fishing, motocross with Cody and Justin, boating and spending time at the lake and swimming with her family, but lately her nails, hair, and makeup were becoming increasingly important. Her love for these things was matched only by her selfless spirit. She always knew what someone needed just when they needed it and continuously put others before herself. She listened quietly without judgement and responded with wisdom beyond her years. Leah was a thoughtful young woman. She enjoyed cooking and baking and shared those talents with everyone. She loved her grandmother fiercely and would call to make sure she had eaten that day and didn’t need anything and even stopped by with flowers for every birthday and Mother’s Day. She enjoyed sleepovers with her cousin Molly and making up dance moves with her cousins Molly, Phoebe, and her sister Lauren. She went for ice cream with her aunt Dana. She spoiled her niece every chance she got and spent every last cent she earned on anyone other than herself whether it was a shirt for her dad from the thrift store or new goodies for her niece soon to arrive. She constantly put others before herself. Her thoughtfulness knew no bounds. She was the best daughter, aunt, granddaughter, sister, niece, and cousin that anyone could be so lucky to have.
