Lesa Pierce, formerly known as “Roberta Rae Sebell,” gained her angel wings on Friday, September 13, 2024, in Dassel. Lesa was 81 years old. Lesa’s life would seem too short to many, but those of us who were blessed to be touched by her understand that her existence and the imprint she left on our hearts exceed the quantity of time that she stayed here. Lesa was talented and adventurous in many aspects of her life. She was a master of puzzles, an avid for religion, and an amazing storyteller. Not a day went by where Lesa didn’t talk about how much her children and family meant to her - her family was arguably her most important aspect of her life despite the upsetting past.
