Elsie “Lesa” Klassen was born on June 19, 1950 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, to John and Sara Klassen, the only daughter among seven children. At age five, her family moved to the Peace River region of BC, where Lesa’s quick wit and resilience flourished amid her boisterous brothers. Faith was central in Lesa’s life from a young age, guiding her through joys and challenges.
After high school, Lesa attended Peace River Bible Institute and Millar School of the Bible, forming lifelong friendships and deepening her faith. She became known for her kindness, creativity, and tireless service—teaching Sunday School, leading Bible studies, and making everyone feel welcome.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at Saanich Peninsula Hospital Extended Care Unit 2 for their compassionate care in Lesa’s final years.
