Leslie worked as credit manager for wholesale food companies; first for Abbott Foods in Columbus and later for Sysco Foods in Columbus and Pittsburgh. After retiring in 2019, she moved to the Akron area to be close to her son and family, following a cancer diagnosis. She had a variety of interests, especially crafting, traveling, and during COVID developed a skill with sourdough. The family wishes to thank the staff at Regency Care Copley who supported many of her healthcare needs and, of course, her numerous family and friends.
