As a result of a tragic fall, Lesley passed away unexpectedly.

A gifted and generous soul, Lesley was a passionate and innovative educator who deeply loved her students. She had a unique gift for helping those who struggled, whether academically or emotionally, and she inspired children to find joy in learning. Her impact reached far beyond the classroom, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

In honor of Lesley’s lifelong commitment to education and her steadfast belief that a child’s future is shaped through learning, the family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a college fund for her children.
