Lois Leeman Obituary
On Friday, June 6, 2025, Lois Leeman, loving wife and mother, passed away at the age of 91 in the beautiful mountains of Northern New Mexico.
Lois was born on July 8, 1933, in Knob Noster, MO. In 1953, she met and married her life partner and love of her life, Miles Leeman. Not long after that, they moved to Albuquerque, NM where they spent the remainder of their lives together. Lois and Miles raised two children, Denise and Eric, and helped in the raising of multiple grandchildren.
Lois loved Christmas, African Violets, cardinals, hummingbirds and carrot cake. She was an avid music lover and spent many hours playing bingo at the local community center. She loved to joke and tease the people she met. She had an infectious smile and sparkling mischievous blue eyes.
Lois is preceded in death by her husband, Miles. She is survived by her daughter, Denise, and son, Eric, and multiple grandchildren from both families. After cremation, a private family ceremony will be held in her memory.
