Leighia Ardoin
Organ Donor • Mother • Wife • Eternal Giver
Leighia Ardoin lived her life with a heart full of compassion and a spirit made for giving. She was a loving wife to me and a devoted mother to Aiden and Rebel — the center of a world she filled with warmth, laughter, and grace.
To those who knew her, Leighia was a light — gentle yet strong, kind yet fearless. She believed that every day was a chance to make someone’s life better, and even in her final moments, she did exactly that.
Through the gift of organ donation, Leighia gave the most extraordinary gift of all — the gift of life. Her selfless decision allowed others to see another sunrise, to embrace their loved ones again, to dream, to begin anew.
Her legacy lives on in the lives she saved, in the families she healed, and in the hearts of all who loved her. Leighia’s story reminds us that true heroes aren’t defined by how they leave this world, but by how they continue to change it after they’re gone.
Her love still beats.
Her spirit still breathes.
Her light still shines.
Leighia Ardoin — forever a hero, forever remembered.
