Leanette Holzschuh (Ratzman), 57, passed away on January 03, 2025, after a sudden heart attack. Leanette was born on March 2, 1968, to Patricia and Richard Ratzman in Appleton, Wisconsin. After graduating from Kimberly High School, she married her high school sweetheart Joel on October 30, 1993. In 1996 they had Hannah Rae and in 2000 they had Julia Louise. Leanette loved her family more than anything. She is survived by her husband, Joel; daughters, Hannah (Andrew) and Julia; parents, Patricia and Richard; and sister Sheila (Toby). Leanette also leaves behind a brokenhearted, shocked, and supportive group of countless friends and family.

Leanette was a big personality in a small package. She had an impact on every person she interacted with. She was beautiful, courageous, inspirational, kind, loving, funny, full of joy, and a ball of fire that showed us what can be accomplished with determination and persistence. She lived her life to the fullest — always — and touched every person she interacted with. She loved to host and entertain and could always light up a room. Her greatest joys and accomplishments were the love of her husband, the gift of being a Mom and her beautiful home and gardens.

A celebration of life will be held on August 22nd to honor Leanette's memory. We will be having a bonfire and live music to celebrate how Leanette would have wanted.  In lieu of flowers, a memorial is being established.
