Leslie Leiberick

Leslie Anne Leiberick, 65, of Portales, NM, passed away Tuesday, September 17, 2024, in Lubbock TX. She was born April 18, 1959, in Los Angeles, CA, to Crispin (Chris) and Janet (Jan) Fontanilla. She married James (Jim) Leiberick on August 12, 1997, in Las Vegas NV.

Les served in the civil service working for the Department of the Air Force for more than 42 years in many capacities. Most enjoyable at Mildenhall England, working with the "Dirt Devils," 52nd SOS, as this job was most exciting and fulfilling to her. She retired from civil service at Cannon AFB, NM in 2021 after many assignments and duties that always gave her a sense of accomplishment and belonging. After her retirement, Les enjoyed her grandkids, golfing, fishing, and of course loving bossing Jim around.

Surviving are her husband, James Leiberick of Portales, NM; brothers, Jeff Fontanilla (Kelly) of Texico, NM, Terry Fontanilla of Clovis, NM; a sister Marlene Toma of Hawaii; three daughters, Cheryl Lavin (Josh Coleman), Tiffani Leiberick, Justine Leiberick; one son, Johnny Lavin (Kayleigh); eleven grandchildren: John V, Korbin, Dorian, Benjamin, Brenden, Adalyn, Pace, Kenlye, Abigayle, Octavius, and Jeffery; nephews and a niece: Kevin, Kristopher, Christian, and Kira.

Preceding her in death are her parents.

As requested by Les, a private celebration of life will be held at a later date for her family.
