Also preceding her in death was her grandfather, Daniel( Danny) Wilburn of Monaville, grandmother Mary Williamson, formerly of Logan; Dale Deer of Logan, her aunts whom she loved very much, Mara Wilburn and Polly Mullins both of Monaville.

Her memory will be in hearts forever. Leslie attended Logan Middle School until she was too ill to go to school all day. She then was home schooled and kept her honor roll status and taught by Debra Capua. Leslie battled this ugly disease for longer than anybody should have to, trying treatment after treatment and hospital after hospital with never even one time complaining, being angered, or even afraid. She had an enormous faith that no matter what, she would be fine, always telling everybody that came in contact with her that she either get better or the doctors would learn something from her to save another child and she would be with God in Heaven either way. Leslie touched the hearts and souls of every single person she came in contact with, even if it was just one time. She blew people away with her bravery, kindness, fearless nature, and love of life and everything in it. She never gave up fighting right up until she took her last breath. It was most important to Leslie to let everybody she met know that you should live your life and to make the very best of it. Leslie, always selfless, had hoped to grow up to become a veteranarian because of her great love of animals. She was like this with everything, never selfish and thinking of herself, but always hoping she could help another. She exuded beauty from her heart, mind, and soul and every body could see this out of her gorgeous eyes. She made people promise to no matter what, that they should live " don't just live on the couch' she would say "but live!" The Williamson family thanks anybody that has been there through this time but hopes that they among anybody that had the pleasure of meeting Leslie can live by her wonderful example. Her family will follow Leslie's own instructions of her memorial service. She will live forever in our hearts. A memorial service will be held from 4-7 pm today,at James Funeral Home Chapel with the service starting at 5pm. with Rev. Roy Browning. Online condolences may be sent to www.jamesfh.com.
