Leslee Hunter Rose

Leslee Hunter Rose, 35, of Groesbeck, TX entered heavens gates the morning of January 22 2019; passing away at home surrounded by loved ones.  

Leslee was a beautiful, kind woman who was loved, is missed and will always be cherished. She was an amazing wife, mom, sister, daughter, granddaughter, Aunt and truly one of a kind.  

Leslie’s story starts on November 18, 1983. The middle daughter to Bruce Hunter and Dana Richardson. Born in Waco, TX and living Marlin, TX. While she was still little Bruce and Dana moved their family to Austin where Leslee would spend her childhood, grow up, attend school eventually moving back to the Marlin area in 1998 where she met her best friend, her true love, her soul mate, Mike Rose.

Leslee loved spending time with her family and friends. She loved the beach and country music. She loved to read and was often lost in a good book. She was an amazing cook. One of the very best. Weekend get togethers with family were a regular thing at her house. She always had something delicious on the stove or in the oven.

She continued to raise her children and be involved in their lives through their daily needs and dramas as they got older. Leslee was a wife to her husband and assuring her family she was going to fight and be here for many years to come.
