Lea pasted away peacefully in the morning of June 24, 2011 while in Hospice in Mesa, AZ. She had under gone examinations and tests weeks prior and it was determined that cancer was the route of her extreme discomfort and
pain. During the last week of life her pain was reduced significantly, however the disease took her at a faster than expected rate. She is in a better place now; free of the pain and discomfort that she had experienced for the past 10 to 12 months. She is survived by three sons, David, Chris and Craig; their wives, Jane, Kathy and Barbara; also her sister Marilyn Quilici. She will be missed by her family and friends. People who met her in passing always confronted a compassionate person who cared how they were doing. Arrangements under the direction of Mariposa Gardens Memorial Park and Funeral Care, Mesa, AZ.
