Tiffanie Diane Leach Ohmes, 47, of Osawatomie died Monday, July 25, 2016 at Villa St. Francis in Olathe, after a courageous and determined battle with cancer. Her adoring family was by her side.

She was the wife of Michael Ohmes and the loving mother of Lisianna Ohmes.

Born on July 10, 1969 Tiffanie was the daughter of Marlene Leach, of Osawatomie and the late Elwood Leach. She is also preceded in death by her brother Kurtis Leach, an infant sister Michelle Leach, and nephew Scott Leach. Tiffanie is deeply mourned by her brother Bradley Leach and his wife Lori, of Rantoul and her nieces and nephews, Dee Leach, Matthew Leach and his wife Tara, Jessica McMechan, Jeremiah Leach, Misty Leach, Jeffrey Leach, Marlee Leach, Gabrial McMechan, Gavin McMechan, Scott Leach, Austin Leach, and Dillon Leach. She also leaves behind many adoring aunts, uncles, cousins and a vast number of close and amazing friends. Tiffanie wanted all of them to know how grateful she was for their laughter, love and especially for their prayers and support during her illness.

She graduated from Osawatomie High School in the class of 1987 and continued her education at Ottawa University obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in education, and later a Master’s Degree from Baker University.

In 1997, Tiffanie married the love her life, Michael, and the two of them embarked on an adventure of adopting a child. In 2008 they journeyed to Guatemala and returned home with a beautiful baby girl Lisianna.

Tiffanie began her teaching career at Faith Baptist Christian School teaching Pre-School and Kindergarten. She worked at the Osawatomie West School teaching 1st Grade and later teaching reading at Trojan Elementary. During 20 plus years of teaching, Tiffanie steadfastly demonstrated her dedication and unswerving devotion to all of her students, making each feel they were her priority.

Tiffanie’s faith sustained her and was a source of strength. She gladly and willingly gave her time and talent to Faith Baptist Church of Osawatomie. Tiffanie taught the Teen Girls Sunday school class for more than 20 years. Many of Tiffanie’s former Sunday school students stayed in touch with her as they progressed in their lives.

Tiffanie was happiest when spending time with her family. Watching her beautiful daughter grow and learn, provided her great joy. Tiffanie leaves a lasting legacy of caring and compassion that will live on through those she leaves behind.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Tiffanie Ohmes Memorial Fund. Any contributions will be used to help the following charities, For the Love of Matteo which assists Guatemalan Orphanages, The Miami County Cancer Foundation, and the Topeka Kansas Community Fund.
