Leslie was born in Chicago, IL and grew up in Columbus, IN, where she met Dan. They moved around a bit until they settled in Raleigh, NC in 1979. Her daughter, Susan, attended and graduated from NC State, and this is when Leslie developed her passion for NC State athletics.

She had fond memories of NC State sporting events and often spoke of them, especially the bus trips.

Leslie also loved the North and South Carolina beaches and spending time with family and friends. Some of her most cherished memories were the family get togethers where there was always lots of laughter and plenty of good food.

She earned her CPA and had a successful career in accounting. Leslie held positions at an audit and tax firm and the Wake County School System and finished up her career as a self-employed accountant.
