Deb Lestenkof, a Wasilla artist, died of COVID in February. Her family remembers her as generous and kind. And says her spirit is embodied in a popular Facebook group she started a decade ago that's meant to promote connection and paying it forward.
Anna and Jesse Lestenkof at Creative Paws, the art shop they opened with their mother’s artwork after she died. A portrait of their mother, Deb Lestenkof, hangs above them.
She died a week later — one of the more than 1,200 Alaskans who has been killed by COVID-19. Family members remember her as being kind and a go-getter. Within 30 minutes, he got a response. And a few hours later, Okitkun had a car seat ready for his grandniece. At the time, Okitkun didn’t know who Lestenkof was but recognized the spirit of generosity her group inspired. He’s given and taken several items from the group over the past few years.
“People always want to give stuff and, you know, be nice and kind,” he said “So that’s how she started.” “She was just kind of saying nonsensical things. So eventually we called paramedics,” he said. “They came to the house, and they administered her oxygen.”
