Ann Leingang

Ann Leingang, 90, Mandan, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother entered into eternity on October 22, 2023, after a lifetime of loving and serving God and raising her family. She taught her family the Catholic faith and set an example of how to live it. She suffered patiently and without complaint these past two years. Mom taught us how to live and has now taught us how to pass into eternity, thank you Mom.

Mom loved getting the family together, especially for holidays and providing a feast, she was a tremendous cook and baker. When you said you were full, she'd say "eat for the hunger to come".
