Leah Jean Haines

Obituary for Leah Jean (Jeannie) Haines 7 June, 1928 – 4 January, 2019 Leah Jean, known to many as ‘Jeannie’, lived a full and lovely life of giving, music, and self-sacrifice for the sake of others. Leah is predeceased by her parents, Rev. Archie and Rev. Ruth Crockett; husband, Bernard; and daughter, Terri. She is survived by her son, John; grandsons, Josh and Zach Reed; and great-grandchildren, Rachel, Elijah, and Samuel. Leah was born in Urbana, Ohio. She studied piano from the age of six and throughout college, and taught piano into her early 80’s. She loved her students, and delighted to hear them perform at recitals. She shared music with so many: accompanied the Lockheed Glee Club, played for Billy Graham Crusades in Atlanta, started the Share Teen Choir and organized tours with this choir for many years. Music, joy, passion, and faithfulness are all part of her legacy. Those influenced by her holy life will attest to the treasure she was while she walked with us. We celebrate her life. We celebrate with the hosts of heaven in her safe arrival home!
