Quilcene resident Leslie Feltes, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, was called to heaven too soon on March 3, 2024. She was 60.
Born December 17, 1963, in Boise, Idaho, Leslie was a woman of great love and kindness. She always wore an ever-present smile and had a contagious laugh that brought so much happiness to those around her.
Before Leslie was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 14 years ago, she was an active, adventurous woman. One of her favorite pastimes was to fish for salmon and steelhead, usually out-fishing everyone with her on the riverbank or boat. While her arthritis may have forced her to slow down and get off the water, it never dimmed her shine or her ability to make the most of any situation thrown her way.
Leslie is dearly missed by her husband, Frank Feltes with whom she shared many cherished moments over the last 44 years. Leslie's memory will live on through her son, Donny (Jenna) Heil; daughters, Jessica Feltes, Jennifer (Josh) Fountain, Jamie (Caleb) Montgomery and Julia (Devin) Leaf; and her 15 grandchildren, Justice, Shayden, Mckenzie, Trig, Nash, Rock, Hayden, Hayley, Hezekiah, Hannah, Makaila, Kain, Keigan, Karson and Addison, whom she cherished with all her heart. Leslie is also survived by four sisters, Debra, Laurel, Traci, and Michelle, numerous nieces and nephews, and so many friends. She will be dearly remembered by us all.
We will greatly miss Leslie. She will live on in the many kind words and actions with which she touched our lives. Thank you for the happy times, the days we laughed until we cried and the wonderful memories made together. We love you so much more than a bushel and a peck.
A Celebration of life will be held in her honor in May. Leslie's love and laughter will forever remain in our hearts, guiding us through the days ahead.
