In Memoriam: Leah Holman

Published in the November 2024 issue of the ISHA Voice.

Leah Holman, ISHA’s Past Annual Convention Program Co-Chair, passed away unexpectedly on November 1. We are profoundly saddened by her loss. Leah was an active Member of the Association for almost 20 years. Leah dedicated herself wholeheartedly to the planning of ISHA’s Annual Convention over the past three years and worked tirelessly to help our Association thrive. 

In honor of Leah’s life and contributions, a Memorial Visitation was held on Thursday, November 14, 2024, from 3:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Friedrich Jones Funeral Home, located at 44 S. Mill St., Naperville, IL 60540. An additional time for visitation was on Friday, November 15, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 11:00 AM at the funeral home.

Please help support Leah's family with unexpected expenses after her sudden, tragic passing. Her beautiful family is left without a mother and partner. Our community is feeling the loss of a well-loved teacher, friend, and neighbor. Leah is already sorely missed.

ISHA has made a donation to support Leah’s family, and we encourage everyone to consider making a personal contribution as well, if you are able to. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-leahs-loved-ones-through-this-tragedy?attribution_id=sl:47b19c45-21cc-488c-81ed-02ac8167c7ef&utm_campaign=pd_ss_icons&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=email
