Lesley passed away at her home in Wilmot, SD that she shared with her companion of two years, George Keeble on March 12, 2019 of a massive heart attack. Lesley had one daughter, Kaydeen Rose Kampeska, and two grandsons, Wesley and Kade St. John. She loved these three dearly. She also has two sisters, Jackie and Rhonda Kampeska. She was the youngest daughter of Wesley Kampeska and Amelia "Dutchy" Schweigman Kampeska. Her mother passed away when she was four years old, and Lesley and Kaydeen lived with her dad and grandpa Wesley.

Lesley worked at Dakota Magic Casino when it opened as a cashier then as a supervisor. She loved her job, counting money and working with numbers. She was well liked by her staff. When she was working as a porter she would always stop and chat laugh and joke then move on. Lesley also worked at the Wilmot Nursing Home taking care of all the elderly. She loved their stories, laughing and talking with them. Lesley never stayed in one place for long, and she missed her father and was very lonesome.

Les will be missed, her laughter and her smile. She is with her father now and will be together again forever.
