Liesa's life was always in service. She was a loving wife and mother and worked several jobs that were in the service of others. She worked at taking classes while working other jobs and in 2003 graduated from Buena Vista University with a double major in Psychology and Social Work. It was a proud moment for her and her family. She worked for several years at Tanager Place caring for youth before taking a job with the State Department of Human Services in Social Work.
