Sara Ebenreck Leeland (Van Raalte)
Feminist, philosopher, and activist, Sara Ebenreck Leeland (Van Raalte) passed away March 5, 2024, at home in Albuquerque, NM, with her son Jered Ebenreck and daughterin- law Amy LaGrange at her side. Sara was born in May 1937 in Leland MI, the first daughter and second child of John K. and Luella M. (Nelson) Van Raalte. Growing up in Leland, next to the river, between Lake Michigan and Lake Leelanau was pivotal for Sara. Environmental ethics, particularly related to water, became a focus in her life. In her later years, Sara chose “Leeland” as her last name to reflect that connection. 03/13/2024 11:46 PM

Flyin’ down the southwest side of M-22 with my arm out the window and a fresh March breeze hitting my face is all I need to put a smile on my face. I make a stop at Good Harbor Beach and there are people watching the most beautiful sunset (like them all) while enjoying each other’s company. 03/13/2024 11:46 PM
