Barbara “Ann” Leming, age 82, left us on Saturday, May 23, 2020. She was born Native American (Choctaw) on November 26, 1937 in Blackwell, Oklahoma.
Ann m
arried Joe Agnew Leming on November 1, 1959. They just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Theirs was a marriage deserved of a lifetime as true loves, soul mates and best friends. She has two sons, Alan Joe Leming married to Patricia, and Michael Agnew Leming married to Wendy. She was an Army bride which often required her to raise their sons alone while Joe served several tours in the Vietnam war. She was a very loving mother, but also could keep the boys in check when needed. Joe and Ann landed at Fort Eustis Virginia where they finally settled and made Newport News their home for the last 35 years.
Ann, more fondly called “Nana”, has 5 grandchildren, Michael Agnew Leming II, Rachel Ashley Siscar, Allison Jo Leming, Mercedes Samantha Leming, and Taylor Christian Leming. She also has 8 great grandchildren, Abbie, Mikael, Katelynn, Melina, Jaime “JamJam”, Jonah, Mercedes “Nevi”, and Raina. She absolutely loved her family and would light up whenever her sons or grandchildren walked into a room.
In light of the current pandemic restrictions, there will be a very small memorial by invitation only.
Having survived cancer twice, Ann would appreciate donations on her behalf to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers. The family would enjoy reading your memories. Please share on this website as provided by Altmeyer Funeral Home Denbigh Chapel.

Joe, we were so saddened to hear of Ann's passing. We enjoyed knowing her over the many years we were all friends. I remember the good times we had while living across the street from each other in housing at Fort Eustis. Ann had a lively spark of life, and would always tell you "Like it is!" She will be missed by many, many people.
