In memory of

Leslie Ellen Stephenson

March 10, 1961 -  September 25, 2020

Passed away peacefully on September 25th 2020.
Her family was grateful that she was able to be at home, comfortable and surrounded by love.
Leslie was a kind, gracious, loving person with a warm smile and a ready laugh who always thought of others before herself. She always looked forward to getting together with family and friends and, in the summer months, many of these events took place at the family cottage, a place she loved deeply. She enjoyed nature, loved a good sunset, was an accomplished swimmer, and the screened porch was a favourite place to read a good book and enjoy good company.
She will be deeply missed by Andy (her husband of 37 years), her sons Matthew and Andrew, her father Allan, her brother Bob, her sisters Laurie (Travis) and Karen (Jan), and nephew Connor. Also, by Chris, Debbie, Pat, Jack, Laurie, mother-in-law Lois and extended family and friends.
We would like to thank Dr. Zalewski, Dr. Iqbal, Nurse Kelly and the staff at the Durham Regional Cancer Centre for their warmth and compassion.
In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to Simcoe Hall Settlement House or another charity close to your heart.
A celebration of life will be arranged when circumstances make it possible.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Leslie at the Whitby Public Library. She was lovely in absolutely every way, and I feel so fortunate to have had her as a colleague. I am deeply saddened by her passing, and will never forget her kind, gentle nature and sweet personality. Many at the Whitby Public Library will miss her greatly, and I offer her family my heartfelt condolences during this especially difficult time. May Leslie rest as peacefully as she lived.

I already miss her and always will. Leslie was a great friend and a wonderful, sweet person. I loved her sense of humour and hearing her tell stories! She is gone far too soon. I wish I could have said goodbye but will always remember her smiling and optimistic. I hope there's a place where beautiful souls go because she will be there reunited with her mom and knowing how much she was loved and how much we wish to be with her again. xooo
