In memory of Leanne Merchant

In Loving Memory Of

Leanne Merchant

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die

Please make a donation in memory of someone very special.

This tribute page has been created in loving memory of Leanne, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2025.

Leanne meant so much to so many — as a wife, mother, sister, aunty, mimi, friend and educator. She was kind, generous, resilient; and had unwavering love for her family and friends.  

In lieu of flowers, we invite you to honour her memory by donating to PanKind. PanKind is dedicated to improving survival and supporting Australians impacted by pancreatic cancer, both patients and their families alike.

Your gift will help fund vital research and provide care and hope to those walking this path now and in the future. Thank you for celebrating Leanne's life and helping create a legacy that may spare other families from this disease.

With love,

Monte, Tracey, Terry, Chloe, Charlotte, Elly, Lucy, Daisy, Hartley, James and John
