Leslie Fay Dubin

A compassionate, devoted, and loyal friend to all. Leslie always kept her doors open to those in need and rose to the occasion in challenging times. She loved her close community of family, friends, and neighbors and aimed to help everyone realize their full potential. As a born leader and designated "fixer", Leslie was the right person with the right solution and rarely broke a sweat.

Among her many talents as a business leader, she found her true passion in teaching. As a college professor, she inspired her students to identify and foster their passions. Leslie was recognized with numerous accolades for her unique abilities and commitment to academia.

After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Leslie passed peacefully at home surrounded by her beloved family on Sunday, June 30, 2024. She endured with humility and always shared a zest for life with those fortunate to know and love her.

Leslie is survived by her husband Stuart Dubin, son Dr. Brian Dubin (Dr. Iram Dubin), Grandson, Liam Dubin, and sister Julie Rifkin (Steve Rifkin).
