Born in Caldwell, Idaho to Naomi and Roscoe Haugsted, Leah was destined to be a bright ray of sunshine in everyone's lives. She moved to Pendleton with her father when he was discharged from the service in late 1971. As a young girl she enjoyed spending time with her Grammy and Grandpa in Halfway, Oregon.

She enjoyed working a variety of jobs over the years including; 60 Minute Photo, Obie’s Import Repair, and Holiday Inn Express. She found her true passion as a Learning Support Assistant/Paraprofessional at Pendleton Early Learning Center where “Miss Leah” positively affected many young lives. She was adored by students, parents, and staff alike. Her strong faith was an ever present comfort to her. Leah touched the hearts of everyone she met. Once you met her and got to experience one of her warm hugs, you were bound to be friends - she wouldn’t have it any other way.
