Thanks for visiting this memorial page for our beloved Mother, Nana, Sister and friend to all! Leesa Howe Boling. Feel free to add a Tribute if you are visiting graveside. We also would love for you to contribute to her page by; adding stories of her life, sharing photos/videos/audio of her, and leaving your favorite memories by using the tabs at the top of the page. For anyone who has come across this page that didn't know Leesa, the following is a breif discription of her. Feel free to browse this memorial page to really see what an amazing person she truly was. 

Leesa had a way of making you feel like family from the moment you met her, and she always said that family was the most important thing in the world to her. She was such an inspiration, in that she  loved every single person in her family unconditionally. She loved and would give anything for not only those closest to her, but even friends or strangers and never expected anything in return.

Leesa was incredibly artistic, and used that ability to create artwork for her business, to cook and bake, and most of all, to make music. Whether it was playing the piano, or listening to her beautiful singing, Leesa could change everything with song. She carried her passion for singing into barbershop music, and it brought her immense joy. She was the director of the local chapter of Sweet Adeline’s, The Pride of West Texas Show Chorus, and sang in several quartets through the years. Her family, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, and her singing sisters will miss her tremendously, and will never forget the mark she left on this world.

Most importantly she loved her children and grandchildren and thought the world of them!
Her children Sarah and Siva Kanagaratnam, Sheena and Austin Escalon, Shiloh and Peggy Boling, and Sable and Aggie Taylor;

And her grandchildren Kyra Axtell, Drake Axtell, Kaeden Axtell, Daxton Axtell, Daphne Leatherwood, Charley Boling, Ryker Escalon, Sahana Kanagaratnam, Kree Escalon, Chloe Taylor, and Stevie Boling

Meeting Leesa at a church camp at the age of 14, I never could imagine that I would be meeting one of my dearest and lifelong friends. We exchanged addresses and communicated with each other through letters and later through phone calls. We visited each other when we could, but you would think we lived next door to each other. I remember sharing our hopes and dreams with each other… our disappointments and heartaches. Her greatest accomplishment - her beautiful children and grandchildren. Leesa was a beautiful friend, a fabulous mother and an astonishingly talented singer. I miss her so deeply, but can’t imagine the emptiness she left her family. You will be forever missed and loved, Leesa, and your memory forever treasured. ❤️

When Shiloh and Sheena sent us the site so we could get to this tribute, I had a very hard time even looking at that one picture!!! I knew if I watched it at night, I would not sleep and if I watched it in the morning, that I would cry all day..
so this morning I went to this site and I listened to the many songs and thumbed through every one of the pictures, and yes the tears rolled down my face for a long time…  I am SO missing my baby sister!!!!
Thank you Shiloh, and any others that helped you, I know your mom would be very proud of you for this fantastic tribute to her full life of 58 years!!! And I pray that God grants us the Peace we all need at this time!! I love you all!!!

I was just thinking about this funny memory I had. Mom was very strict about our behavior in church. Often times if we did something we weren’t supposed to, or started talking, she would thump us in the back of the ear. I remember this one time though, I was whispering to the person beside me, and instantly in my brain thought “ah man moms about to thump me”, I just had this feeling. I was right, she was, but I didn’t know that. So I turned to see if she heard me, at the exact time she was trying to thump my ear, and she thumped me right in the eye! Hahaha I don’t know why something that hurt then makes me laugh now so much, but it’s just one of those funny moments I’ll never forget.
