Leisa Ulvan (formerly Leisa Hutchison), a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, whose warmth and dedication touched countless lives, passed away on October 25, 2025 at Hospice of North Idaho in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. She was 73 years old.
After graduating from Coeur d'Alene High School in 1970, Leisa embarked on a career as a flight attendant with American Airlines. In 1980, she joined Alaska Airlines, serving routes throughout the Northwest, Mexico, and Alaska.
Leisa's true joy was found in her family. In 1981, she married Gary Ulvan, her steadfast partner of 44 years, and together they built a life filled with love and laughter in Coeur d'Alene. A devoted mother to her daughter, Anne Knoll, Leisa cherished every moment with her family, especially her grandson, Alex Knoll. Her home was a haven of hospitality, where friends and neighbors were blessed by her renowned cooking and stories of her adventures in the air.
Leisa is survived by her loving husband, Gary Ulvan; her daughter, Anne Knoll, and son-in-law, Brian Knoll; her grandson, Alex Knoll.
