Lea was born October 17, 1922 in Vassar, Manitoba to the late Antoine and Delina Levesque. She was one of thirteen children and is survived by her brother Romeo.
On April 15, 1940 she was united in marriage to Allan Quibell and together they had four children.

Lea was known for her gardening and cooking abilities. She touched the hearts of many when she shared the produce she harvested and special recipes she baked.
For many years she was a stay at home mom and as her children became older she supported and worked with her husband, Allan, in a variety of jobs. She would cook, clean and do the books when they ran their tourist camp, as well as deliver frozen food, chips and ice cream to the local stores in Rainy River.
Lea was a longtime member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Rainy River Legion Branch #54. In her leisure time, she enjoyed gardening, cooking, fishing, curling, walking and the special times with her family at the cabin on Lake of the Woods.
