Leslie is also survived by her church family whom she loved dearly and who dearly loved her as well. She and her family have been members of Living Word Fellowship Church for 27 years where her husband John serves as an Elder and is involved with the Bedford County Jail Ministry. Leslie was formerly employed by Renegar Drugs and Reeves-Sain Pharmacy. Leslie was a precious child of God who raised her children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. She served her family and church family with a nurturing love few have the capacity to demonstrate. She was caring. Giving. Loving. Innocent. A beautiful woman inside and out. She was a strong intercessor for this town and the people in it. She will truly be deeply missed but is rejoicing in victory and worshipping her Savior Jesus Christ! 1 Cor 15:54-56. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Feldhaus Memorial Chapel is assisting the family with the arrangements.
