Born June 15, 1957 in Waynesboro, PA, she was the daughter of the late Calvin A. and Clara (McCleaf) King.

She was a teacher in El Salvador, a nurse at the Maryland School for the Deaf, and was fluent in three languages. She loved "her kids".
Leesa helped people in more ways than just education. She was a nurse for many years helping the vulnerable in the mental health setting of healthcare. She served as a school nurse and was a member of multiple short-term mission trips to El Salvador, Nicaragua, Peru and the Philippines. She would regularly lead bible study online. She was also an avid reader, loved her cats, and loved Native American culture and history.
Ms King was a published author with her book, Surrender Your Struggles to God. She was a devoted member of the Experience Life Church in Waynesboro, PA.
Leesa is survived by her brother, Michael King, and his wife Selma; nieces Jessica King and Ashley Fender.
