Vallecito, CA…Leanne Fay Aschwanden (Goff) went home to be with the Lord on June 19, 2015 in Santa Barbara after a well fought battle with lymphoma cancer. She was 62. Leanne was born in San Diego May 19, 1953. She grew up in Angels Camp attended Mark Twain Elementary School and graduated from Bret Harte High School. After raising 9 children, Leanne still found time to seek out a career in real estate because of her love for interior decorating and her bubbly personality.

Leanne married Ronald Aschwanden after meeting in a relationship class at Foothill Community Church in Angels Camp. Ron and Leanne were married for 20 years and lived most of their lives in Vallecito near family. This was followed by a move to Goleta where Ron had accepted a new banking job.

While in Goleta doctors discovered Leanne’s cancer. Leanne never lost sight of who she was while battling through good and bad days. With Ron, family and friends by her side she was moved to City of Hope in Duarte, California to receive the best care. Even with the best care possible the Lord had a different plan and she was moved to Sarah House in Santa Barbara where her battle with cancer ended.

Leanne will be missed for her patience, unselfishness, her ability to listen and her “Feng Shui”. She was the family glue that held everyone together. Leanne was known as “Best Friend” or “Mom” to many in the community.

Leanne is survived by her husband, Ronald Aschwanden of Vallecito; daughter Autumn (Steve) Poortinga, and sons Kyle Hicks, Steven and Michael Davis all of Vallecito; stepsons Matthew (Rachelle) Aschwanden of Placerville, David (Claire)Aschwanden of Oakley, stepdaughters Keri (Steve) Parrott of Auburn, Jena (Adam) Hendy of Grants Pass, OR, Elise (Tim) Chafee of Seattle, WA; sister Cathy (Brad) Sutton of Vallecito, brother Steven (Gloria) Goff of Sonora; grandchildren Kallen Dente, Alexis, Steven and Kade Poortinga, Kyle, Kaleb, Savanah, Josh and Ava Parrott, Bridger Chafee, Isabella and Malakai Hendy and Scarlet Aschwanden.
