We Remember

LESKOSEK, Tammy Tess (née Gellner)

June 6, 1963 — July 5, 2026

Our beloved Tammy has left us too soon after a courageous battle against cancer. Tammy passed peacefully at home surrounded by family on Sunday, July 5, 2026.

Tammy Tess Leskosek (née Gellner) was born on June 6, 1963, in Fernie, BC. The family lived in several communities before moving to Kelowna in 1977. Tammy finished her schooling in Kelowna, graduating from Springvalley Secondary, along with her best friend Debbie Lang.

Tammy met the love of her life, Lester, at Interior Truck Trim, and they were married in 1985. Together, they had 3 wonderful children. In later years, they both worked for Canada Post.

She loved her family and enjoyed camping and travelling with them. The sandy beaches of Mexico were a regular destination, with Puerto Vallarta being her favourite spot.

Tammy was predeceased by her mom and dad, Eleanor and William Gellner; her brothers Marty and Danny Gellner; and nephew Dean Smith.

She is survived by her husband, Lester; children Amber, Harmony, and Jerod (Mar); grandchildren Athrin and Dante; sister Lorna (Bob); brothers Barry (Holly) and Shelly; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, July 20, 2026, from 2:00–4:00 pm at the Embassy Church, 410 Leathead Road, Kelowna, BC (downstairs in the Fellowship Room). This will be a casual gathering for family and friends to honour the memory of Tammy.  

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Care Centre at KGH.
