Leslie Ann Peebles

Leslie Ann Peebles, 63, of Lewiston, MN, passed away peacefully on March 18, 2025. Born on August 12, 1961, to Peter Grulkowski and Ann Cady, Leslie’s life was marked by love, strength and family.

Preceded in death by both of her parents, Leslie is survived by her beloved son, Joshua (Leighton) Peebles; her cherished grandchildren, Carson and Reagan Peebles; her loving siblings, Kelly (Paul) Burfeind, Eric Grulkowski, and Evan Grulkowski; her dear nieces, Katrina, Kaitlyn (Robert) Murphy, Rachel (Will) Palumbo, and Emily (Jesse) Gullikson; and her six sweet grand nieces and nephews.

In her early years, Leslie was a force of nature – always ready for adventure and seeking out the next thrill. She had a love for the small things that made life extraordinary; from camping with her family to dancing in the kitchen to her favorite songs with her son, Joshua. She loved with her whole heart, never shying away from the moments that made life feel alive.

Leslie always held a love for animals. She found so much joy in the company of creatures, both big and small. From beloved pets, or animals within the community, you could often find her helping a stray or feeding the neighborhood wildlife.

Leslie was known for her caring heart, her quick wit, and her unwavering support of those she loved. Those who know her best, recognized her resilience, the glimmers of joy she brought to those around her, and the moments when her spirit shone brightly. We will remember her for her big heart, her sense of adventure and the good times that defined her spirit. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of sharing her journey.

A private memorial service was held for family and close friends. May she rest in peace, and may we continue to carry forward with love.
