Leslie was gracious and loving, extended her home and arms to anyone who entered, and made you feel you were a part of her family. She loved working in her yard, good times at the beach and spending time with family and friends. She leaves a huge hole in all our hearts.

Weber of Forest; grandchildren, Jason Watson and his wife Renee, Lindsay Watson and Thorn Fortney; great-grandchildren, Raegan and William Hatcher Watson and Debbie Hargis who she considered a daughter and her son Ryan.
She was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Carl J. Weber, her sister, Gene Elam and her brother Fred Stanbery.
The family sends a special thank you to her loving care-giver, Linda Davis and Leslie’s many friends and family.
A memorial service will be conducted at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, June 14, 2014 at Blue Ridge Community Church. The family will receive friends following the service at a reception at the church and at other times at her residence.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to The American Diabetes Association or a charity of your choice.
