In Honor of Lesley Snedeker DePorto

"We would like to honor Lesley Snedeker DePorto; who left this earth, this past August. 

She was a longtime foundation volunteer and became the Director of our annual golf tournaments for a number of years. Lesley brought in many sponsors and golfers to participate at our tournaments. Her contribution was priceless.

Lesley served so many organizations within our communities; both Fairfield and Vacaville. She was always first to sign up to volunteer with any organization and selflessly helped so many people. Lesley was a dear friend to many of us and a member of The Matt Garcia Foundation family.

Over 400 family & friends gathered in September to celebrate Lesley’s life. We had many of our foundation volunteers to help serve at the reception; it was a beautiful gathering for a beautiful person. She will be missed by so many people and many of our local community organizations. Our love and support for her beloved husband, Jay DePorto, and the Snedeker Family. Rest in peace dear friend."
