She was the baby of seven from an Oregon Trail Pioneer Family. .

Leita married Donald L Hoskins in 1950. He was recently discharged from the Army & met her while visiting Oregon. They were married for 49 years when he passed. Leita later met and married Floyd C. Wilson and they lived happily in Dexter, Oregon & Hawaii before moving to Brookings, Oregon in 2020. They loved living their final years by the ocean & went to the beach nearly every day until he passed in 2025. Floyd would say, "It's a beautiful day at the Oregon coast & we just love living here" Leita passed peacefully at home surrounded by family on 03/15/2026. She will be interred with family at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Pleasant Hill, Oregon.

Leita was preceded in death by her parents Bernice & Curtis; husbands Donald L Hoskins Sr & Floyd C Wilson; siblings Francis, Marion, Rose, Gerald, Julia & Vernon.

Leita loved life, traveled to Europe & Hawaii as well as extensively in the continental US. She was a Devoted Wife, Mother, Aunt, Grandmother and Friend. Her love of chickens & "Need to feed" were both legendary even into her last month's having a lil chicken coop & baking pie, bread, cookies, fudge & canning jam & fruit. Leita will be missed by all who knew & loved her. We will celebrate her always & forever.
