LaLeesha, a Tulalip Tribal Member, was born February 13, 2000 in Bellevue, WA to Daniel Lerma and Lyesha Joy Francis. She went to be with the Lord and loving Nana Lisa Joy Grove on March 10, 2020.
Her greatest accomplishment was graduating from Puyallup High School in 2018 with 7 honor cords. Her favorite job was working for her grandparents restaurant "Da Tiki Hut" located in Tacoma, WA where you can find her beautiful carvings on the tables. She took much pride in her artistry which included drawing, writing, painting and pottery. She found her peace and left her footprints on Kyak beach. Her obsession with shopping lead to her collection of "ANYTHING" pineapple, but most of all she LOVED spending quality time with family and friends.
LaLeesha is survived by her mother Lyesha Joy Francis, father Daniel Lerma and stepmother Marianna Talbott, siblings Dominic Lerma, LaKaila & Elijah Francis-Schaeffer, Daniel Lerma, Adam Lerma and Madison Hyke. Grandparents LaVerne Joy Grove, Steve & Tamara Lerma, Godparent Rome and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and niece.
She will continue her journey with her loved ones Nana Lisa Joy Grove, aunt Leona LeDuc, Great Grandparents Rev. Willis Grove & Gertrude Grove.
