Lena Edna Leschper, 81, of Sealy, passed away with family by her side on May 18, 2020. She was born on October 30, 1938 in LaGrange to Alvin and Lena Behrens.
Edna married Lewis Cypher Sr. on November 9, 1956. He passed away in a boating accident on June 7, 1968. On December 6, 1969, she married Adolph Leschper. Together they created a life in Sealy and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last December.
Edna worked as a waitress most of her early years, before becoming a seamstress at Sealy Mattress. In the early 80s, she began work at the Countryside Motel, and she was promoted to manager. She finished her working years as a manager of Best Western Inn of Sealy when she retired in 2001.

Edna enjoyed playing dominoes with family, putting together puzzles, watching her stories(soap operas), and Hallmark movies and spending time with her family. She was an amazing wife, mother, and granny to all her grandkids. She will always be remembered for her big, bright pink lipstick smile, her strong will, and her giving, loving heart. She will be greatly missed by her husband, family, and friends.
A huge thank you to Allumine Hospice for all their love, care, and support.
