FedEx Driver Quietly Shovels Snow From Widow's Porch After Learning Her Husband Had Recently Passed Away

Jul 03, 2019

Some of the most wonderful good deeds in this world are the ones that are done when people believe that no one is looking. This was the story for a local FedEx driver who took time out of his busy route to shovel snow off of a widow’s porch after he heard that her husband has recently passed away after a long, arduous battle with cancer. Losing someone you love isn’t ever easy, especially not when that person is your significant other.

Leigh Anne is now a widow after her husband passed away at the young age of just 42-years-old. He had gone through a battle with cancer that lasted seven months.

Leigh Anne is a mother of three young children and they live in a small town in Nebraska that deals with winter snowstorms throughout a good portion of the year. After her husband passed, Leigh Anne focused on getting by through the day-to-day and, unfortunately, one of those days happened to be accompanied by a major snowstorm.

In the aftermath of that particular snowy morning, Leigh Anne looked down her street to see a FedEx truck parked near the end of her street. She was in her driveway at the time. Her tires had lost air and she was unable to remove the cap and put more air on due to the fact that it was frozen from the snowstorm the night before.

Brian, the FedEx driver, approached Leigh Anne, the two recognizing each other from frequent deliveries, and asked if he could help.

As Brian helped Leigh Anne the two began to talk and that was when Brian found out that Leigh Anne’s husband had lost his battle with cancer. His heart went out to Leigh Anne who was now faced with the task of raising all three young children on her own. After Leigh Anne left, Brian returned and quietly took a snow shovel to Leigh Anne’s porch to clear off all of the snow.

He had no idea that her digital Ring doorbell would record the entire thing!

Leigh Anne was blown away and said that digital doorbell cameras aren’t just for catching people who attempt to steal other people’s packages, they can capture truly amazing deeds!
