Remember Zoe Leader was the voice of Sarafina (Nala's mother) and apparently the voice of the lioness that says "My, how've you grown?" in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. I checked her IMDb profile out of the blue tonight, and it states she died on March 3, 2015 from cancer. Legacy.com has her obituary, and it mentions she worked for Disney as a Director of Communications. Her resume on LinkedIn list the same thing.

:(

Wasn't she also the one who sang 'can you feel the love tonight'?

Just checked twitter... There is a zoe leader who looks a lot like the zoe leader who voiced sarafina who last tweeted a week or two ago but I couldn't confirm if it was her.

I'll ask her if she voiced sarafina.

No, Kristle Edwards was the off-screen singer for "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?".

How sad :sad: She must be gone, I doubt two sources would make that huge of a mistake.
