Leslie Dees reached the end of the earthly road to travel the heavenly road on September 4, 2025.

Leslie will be remembered as a person with a servant heart. For years Leslie excelled in the Food Ministry at State Line. Many miles were travelled in collecting food and leading in the distribution.

Leslie shared in caring for the church for several years. In years prior she worked in the nursery.

The attached picture renders what I call the Leslie look. This morning, I observed the “Leslie look” before leaving the hospital.

Leslie will be missed by the family at State Line.
