Ann Elizabeth Lehman

Ann Elizabeth Lehman, 69, of Tipp City, Ohio, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, September 3rd, 2026. She was a mother, grandmother, partner and friend. Her presence will be deeply missed.

Ann was born at Stouder Memorial Hospital in Troy, Ohio on Saint Patrick’s Day 1957 to Russel and Alice Lehman.
