LEANNE SMALL, 
79, of West 
Bloomfield, died 
April 5, 2022. 
She loved to 
travel and was the 
“cruise queen” having decided 
flying was truly for the birds. 
She graduated with an art 
degree from the University 
of Michigan and applied her 
love of art throughout her 
adult life in designing, cre-
ating and painting elaborate 
needlepoint canvases, deco-
rative pillows, talit bags and 
chuppahs. She was an avid 
reader and loved her children 
and grandchildren, taking 
great pride in their accom-
plishments.
