Annalesha Christine Draper, 27

Feb. 25, 1990 – Dec. 16, 2017

Our beautiful, free-spirited daughter was taken from us too soon. Annalesha died in a tragic car accident while on her way to pick up her fiancé.

Her soul and spirit were so full of kindness, laughter (oh, that laugh) and joy. She was always ready to drop everything to help anyone in need.

Annalesha’s love for the outdoors and nature would take her camping and hiking for weeks at a time. The openness of the outdoors was her comfort place.

Her dogs were her children. With special love and concern for her pit bulls, she would want everyone to know that they are truly an amazing breed. She was a pit bull mom.

Annalesha’s passing has left a void in our hearts that will last a lifetime. May your spirit soar even higher. We will miss you to the depths unknown. Our shining light, shine bright, watch over us tonight and always, till time brings us together again.

“One Love. One Heart. Let’s get together and feel alright.” — Bob Marley.

Annalesha is survived by her parents, Don and Cindy Draper; brothers Nick Draper, Chris Draper and his wife, Jessica, and Andrew Draper and his fiancée, Camila; her precious niece, Kamya; her fiancé, Benjamin Houle; grandmother Jayne Buechner; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Please join us for a celebration of life at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2017, at the Kroc Center in Coeur d’Alene. Please wear bright colors; Annalesha was a “Rasta girl” at heart.
