Breann was born December 30, 1995 in
Hinesville, Georgia. She is the Daughter of Tom and Jennifer Leath.
At a young age, Breann accepted Christ into her life. As a born-again Christian, she returns to His loving arms.
At a young age, Breann accepted Christ into her life. As a born-again Christian, she returns to His loving arms.
Breann graduated from Southport High School in 2014, where she served as captain of the dance squad. She had a passion for public service. After graduation, following in her father's footsteps, Breann enlisted in the Indiana Army National Guard. As a member of the military Honor Guard, she participated at the funerals of veterans and active-duty service members. We extend to her the same solemn dignity that she accorded them, when she saluted them and paid them their final respect at their grave.
After receiving an honorable discharge from the military, Breann became a correctional officer at the Indiana Women's Prison and was featured in the television series Women Behind Bars. It was at this time that Breann resolved to pursue her lifelong passion of becoming a police officer. She joined the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and graduated from the academy in 2018. She served with the department for two and a half years.
She was the middle child by birth. Middle children are thought to be envious—the least bold, the least talkative. That was not the case with Breann. Like her mother, she was direct and outspoken. Like her father, she was generous and inquisitive. She was a leader. She was a veteran. She was a police officer. Breann was the embodiment of civic duty, compassion, loyalty, and respect.
Breann was a glowing light. Her infectious smile and contagious personality brightened every room she entered. As a police officer, she bridged the social and cultural divides within her community by her positivity, her integrity, and her commitment to the safety and well-being of the people she served. This community grieves the loss of their friend. Maya Angelou wrote; 'Family is more than blood. Families are made of those who you welcome in, share "silent unspeakable memories" with, express vulnerability with, work to climb the highs and lows of life with, and who you love with all your heart.'
Breann loved to sing and dance. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. The family extends a special thank you to Breann's significant other, Charles Parker with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents Tommy C. Sr. and Minnie L. Leath.
She leaves behind her son Zayn, her parents, her sisters Jayla and Tiana, her aunt Sherry, uncles Yuri, Timothy Patrick and her grandparents David and Susanne Malone. She leaves behind a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and family who know in their hearts that even though she has departed, her memory will always remain.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle.
