Lesha Adams Obituary
1963-2019
Lesha Ruth Adams of Houston, Texas, was taken far too soon on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at the age of 55. Lesha has always been selfless in her pursuit of helping others. Saturday, she was struck by a car while helping a man in a wheelchair cross the street. She has always put others before herself, and anyone that knew her even for a minute is not surprised that she gave her life helping a stranger in need. Lesha was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
Lesha was born in Lubbock, Texas, on April 16, 1963. Her family moved to Lovington, New Mexico, where she grew up until she graduated high school and moved to Houston, Texas. Lesha remained in Houston where she was busily and happily raising her family.
Lesha is survived by her wife, Stefanie Marsh, her 2 daughters, Olivia and Ava, her mother, Ruth Adams, her sister, Teri Webb, her nieces and nephews, Traci & Kopi Vogiatzis and their four children, and Ron & Jennifer Shaull and their three children.
There will be a memorial service for Lesha on Friday, April 5th, at Bradshaw-Carter Memorial & Funeral Services, 1734 W. Alabama St., Houston, TX 77098, from 5:00 until 8:00 PM. Breast cancer awareness was near and dear to Lesha's heart, and for that reason the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to The Rose, https://www.therose.org/donate-now/, in her honor.

I just heard this tragic news. I worked with Lesha for a few years and absolutely loved being around her. She was fun, she was funny and she was a bright light of positivity. I am heartbroken for her family but I hope they know how many people she made happy by just being herself. My prayers are with you!!!

My deepest condolences to the family. Prayers and hugs through this tough time! I worked at Walgreens for 10+ years. We used to tease saying we felt like part of the family since there were always lots of photos to pick up. I remember the excitement of the expanding family everyone was so happy. She was so sweet. She will always be your family's guardian angel!

I never met Lesha in person but when I worked with her she called me frequently for work questions and every phone call was a smile because she had a way to make to light me up with her vibrant personality and I know she had larger dreams of being a mom when she left the company, I was saddened with this news as she was truly the giving woman the earth was blessed with. My condolences to her family and much love. Barb Carlile Bloomington IN

There are really no words to describe how I am feeling during this difficult time. Lesha stopped to help my brother Jesse get across the street, and what was a selfless act of kindness turned tragic. The world needs more people like Lesha Adams. God be with her family, now and always. What a wonderful family you all are. Love and prayers for her Family and Friends.

I have known Stefanie for 15 years and have followed her family adventures with Lesha, Ava and Olivia through Stefanie's posts. While I never met Lesha she was obviously a giving spirit and I am so saddened by this tragedy. Please accept my deepest condolences for her family's loss.

I have very fond memories of Lesha when she woul pick up Olivia and Ava from OSL School.She was always smiling and greeted the girls with a big hug and kiss and asked them how their day went. Lesha was so friendly to everyone and sought how she could be helpful and volunteer. It is of no surprise to me that she would do such a selfless, sacrificial act of kindness for someone she did not know. What a precious example of love. My condolences to the whole family. May you find peace and comfort in THE LORD.
Sincerely, Elizabeth Reyes

We were so excited when we first met Lesha and the family when they started to build their new home next door to us on Prince. Such kind, friendly and sweet people.
Tim and I extend to all the family our hearts full of gratitude for being able to know (if only for a brief time) the beauty and gifted spirit of Lesha.
Know that we (as well as all our neighbors) are here if we can help in any way.
Love and Hugs for all!

Stef, Olivia, and Ava-
I will forever feel blessed for having the opportunity to meet sweet Lesha. As a tutor in your home, the love and togetherness of your family unit was something truly special. Cherish the sweet memories. I know this loss is unbearable, but know that you truly had something SPECIAL and UNIQUE, and it will forever be an imprint on your hearts. Lesha was a true gem! She ALWAYS went out of her way to make me feel welcome, offering me breakfast some days and always insisting on carrying my tutoring bag to my car! I'm going to miss her, but I feel blessed to have met her and to have spent lots of time in your home with your sweet girls. Love and prayers for all of you. -Laurie Pitzer & Family

Julie and I only met Lesha one time earlier this year while she and Stephanie were visiting in California. Our dinner was wonderful and we saw such love between Lesha and Stephanie. There are no words to really express our sadness. Time is previous. Love is precious. We send love to Stephanie and the entire family. Jane Wynn and Julie Terfinger.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lesha's passing. I had the opportunity to work with her for several years early in my career. She set a great example of always putting doing the right thing above all else in business. She was always willing to help me or anyone else. She is now an Angel watching after her beautiful kids, Stephanie, and the rest of the people she has helped over the years. We will miss you!

Stef, I am so so very sorry for your incredible loss. You, Olivia and Ava are in my thoughts and prayers. This world is not the same without sweet Lesha in it.
