A native of Frankfort, Kentucky, who lived for years in Corbin, Kentucky, Leigh Ann was the daughter of Teresa Calder Elliott and the late David Lee Fallis. She was a 1990 graduate of Corbin High School and studied for a time at Eastern Kentucky University.

She was a dedicated supporter and longtime employee of Special Olympics of Kentucky; a gifted athlete who competed in many Special Olympics sports and events; a faithful member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church; a generous volunteer for the Stewart Home; and a proud member of the Southern Cherokee of Kentucky. Leigh Ann was a woman of extraordinary warmth and compassion who was known among her colleagues, family, and friends for her playful sense of humor and tremendous generosity of spirit. She will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her father, David Lee Fallis, and her step-brother, Donnie Elliott.
