July 2, 1952 – July 15, 2022
It is with broken hearts that our family announces the death of our beloved Leann Lindsey Collet. She passed away on July 15, 2022 at the age of 70 at her home in Holden, LA while swimming in the Tickfaw River she enjoyed so much over the years. She is preceded in death by her grandparents Anthony and Sarah Chicola, grandmother Lydia Lindsey, nephew Richard Lindsey, brother Russell Lindsey, aunt Virginia an uncle Carlo Spera, stepfather Anthony Ticheli, nephew Corey Bordelon, cousins Dennis Hall, and Joe Haws III, and stepsister Martha Howard. Leann worked as a service representative for AT&T (formerly known as BellSouth and SouthCentral Bell) and retired after 30 years of service. She was a Christian and a member of St. Margaret Catholic Church. Leann was an avid photographer and took hundreds of timeless pictures throughout her life. Some of her other passions included: photobook making, enjoying the peaceful outdoors at her home, spending time with friends and family, and listening to old records on her record player. Leann had a big heart for helping people and she touched so many people’s lives in a very special way. She was one-of-a-kind and was so selfless, caring, and nurturing. She would always go above and beyond to help those in need while putting her needs last. Her bright smile and joyful laughter would touch your heart in such a unique way that you can’t help but remember it forever. Leann was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, and dear friend of so many. Leann is survived by her mother Lena Ticheli, father Russell Lindsey, son Levi Collet, brother Chris Lindsey, niece Danielle Lindsey, nephews Devin Lindsey and Paul Lindsey, aunt Patty and uncle Ed Hall, Tammy Hall and her family, stepmother Pat Lindsey, stepsiblings Mike and Paula Monk, Wayne and Marie Bordelon, stepbrother Joe Ticheli, her good friends Debbie Looney, Lisa Rainwater, Gail Daigle, dear cousin Theresa, a host of nieces, family in Longville, LA, nephews, her BellSouth Family and friends too numerous to count. Visitation will be held Friday July 29, 2022 at St. Margaret Catholic Church in Hammond, LA from 1-2:30pm in the fellowship hall and a mass-service will follow after in the sanctuary at 3pm. A private burial will take place at Alexandria Memorial Gardens where she will be laid to rest. Condolences may be offered at www.sealefuneral.com

Leann has been an amazing friend and a part of our family for the past 20+ years. She was the most positive person, and always had a smile on her face. She has taught me so many things about life, lessons I will always cherish. My prayers go out to her family, for she will be missed !

Aunt Leann was an amazing soul . So privileged to be able to part of her life and lovingly call her (Aunt Leann )as I was Introduced to her 12 years ago along with CC and Mason. She was an amazing person and considered as a grandmother to my grandson who loved her more then a great aunt ! A grandmother in his eyes. His heart is broken and will sadly miss her laughs and smiles and the many many memories she created with him for all of his 12 years for ever .
We will forever miss you Aunt Leann

We never had the privilege of meeting Leann, but heard glowing words about her from her brother. Simply because she is Chris’s sister, I know that she must have been filled with warmth and charm. Hopefully her entire family with find much comfort in their very special memories. Our most sincere condolences.

A very special and dear friend is gone from this life but in the presence of our Lord. I’m honored to have known such a sweet soul. I know she is in heaven rejoicing with many loved ones.
May God give her family the strength to move on in days, weeks, and months to follow.
Leann is an angel smiling down from
Heaven.

Still feels surreal to me. Leann always made you feel special. She just had that personality. The world is a little less kind without her in it.

So sad to lose Leann. I’m still in shock. I’ve lost part of my heart and soul sister. She was so special that words can’t convey the lovely spirit of her personality. The world lost an angel and I lost a dear friend.
