Leslee Kathrine Rhodes, age 79 of Purcell, passed away Friday, March 26, 2021
Leslee was born July 3, 1941 in Weatherford, OK, the 6th of 9 children born to Walter Claude Rhodes and Calla Mae Elizabeth (Edwards) Rhodes. Growing up the daughter of a minister, Leslee’s younger years were spent in Kansas. After high school, she started working in the car rental business and this led to a long and successful career. Leslee was a branch manager in Okla. City, Albuquerque and Las Vegas before retiring. In 2004, she settled in Purcell to be closer to family, and worked as a secretary for Purcell Municipal Hospital. Always learning, Leslee joined her sisters in quilting classes, and spoiled her family and friends with her creations. She was an excellent cook, and will be forever remembered for her cakes and desserts. Family was very important to Leslee, and she always took the time to let those she loved most, know it. At least once a week, she would gather with her family to play cards, and she looked forward to this time. She was a devout Catholic and a member of Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Purcell. She will be dearly missed!
