We regret to announce the passing of Kari Lynn (Leedom) Pomerleau, 48, of Boise, on July 27th, 2023.
Kari was born on December 24, 1974 to Duane and Patricia (Bursell) Leedom in Sioux City, Iowa. She was the 3rd of four children born to them. She has two sisters, Teresa and Tracy and a younger brother, Jeremy. At the age of 16, she moved from South Sioux City, Nebraska to live with her sister, Teresa, and her family in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho. She graduated from Horseshoe Bend High School.
In 1993, Kari met Shaun Pomerleau. Kari and Shaun married in September of 1994 and they had been married almost 29 years when she passed away. Kari and Shaun had two children together, Courtney of Middleton, Idaho and Kyle of Nampa, Idaho as well as Shaun’s son, Shane of Boise, Idaho. They were blessed with 9 grandchildren plus 1 to be. Shane blessed them with 2 grandsons – Colton and Wyatt. Courtney blessed her with 2 granddaughters and 2 grandsons – Kylah, Khloee, Karsen and Khartter. Kyle had recently blessed her with 2 grandsons and a granddaughter – Logan, Paislee and Kaedon. And she was very excited that her 10th grandson is expected to arrive in January to Kyle and Ashlee. She loved being a Nana! Her grandchildren were her greatest blessing and she adored them! We know she will always be their guardian angel watching over them!
Kari loved to laugh, she enjoyed playing in the river and mostly just being with her family. She was loyal to her friends and family and a momma bear when it came to her kids.
Kari was preceded in death by her grandparents, her dad, Duane, and mom, Pat. She is survived by her husband Shaun, daughter Courtney Pomerleau (Kevin Conley), son Kyle Pomerleau (Ashlee Lenz), stepson Shane Henson (Sarah Mosley), her sisters Teresa Graffis (Todd Graffis) and Tracy Hattig (Jeff Parrish) and her younger brother, Jeremy Leedom (Rashad Watson) as well as her ten grandchildren. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews in Idaho and Iowa.
