Lea Marie struggled with chemical addiction. Her family and she moved to Edmond, Oklahoma in 2015. It was at this time she reached out for help and found Hope is Alive, a faith-based program. She worked the program for over 3 ½ years, where she developed many special and lasting friendships.

The program turned her life around and she believed in and promoted the program to many people.

She loved life and participated fully in many activities, a strong swimmer, enjoyed snow skiing, rode western saddle horses well and loved adventure. She always enjoyed cooking and in this past year refined her skills preparing gourmet meals for moderate size groups of friends and co-workers. Her family was always important to her. She enjoyed being with them on vacations, visiting her numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins and just being at home with her Mom, Dad, Alex, and Roberto. She touched the lives of many people. Her smile and personality were infectious. She will be forever loved and missed by all.
