Leigha Stokes is a true Florida native, born and raised in Ocala, Florida. She is the oldest of four siblings, a devoted wife, and a proud mom. Leigha’s parents provided her the opportunity to attend and graduate from The Villages® Charter School, where her passion for teamwork and leadership led to a softball scholarship at Warner University, a small Christian college.

After graduating from college in 2011, Leigha married her high school sweetheart, Preston, who is currently a firefighter in The Villages®. Together, they welcomed their first daughter, Rilynn, in 2014. Rilynn is proudly carrying on the family tradition by attending The Villages® Charter School. In 2022, Leigha and Preston were blessed with their second daughter, Bristol, adding even more joy to their growing family.

Leigha has a genuine passion for meeting new people and finds true value in creating lasting relationships. She is enthusiastic, community-driven, and deeply grateful for every opportunity to give back and help grow the remarkable community that helped shape her life.
