Lezlie said her parents chose her middle name because she was born during a thunderstorm.
Lezlie was first married to a Mr. Hobbs, further information not known at this time. They were later divorced.
Lezlie was a big Kansas State University football fan and attended many of their games. She was also a very enthusiastic follower of the Dallas Cowboys, and was not shy about how much she liked their quarterback, Troy Aikman.
During the 1990's, Lezlie's worked as part of the office staff at Brooks Middle School located near her home in north Wichita. She next worked in the offices at the Wichita Child Guidance Center on the southeast corner of Grove and Central streets. She was later a supervisor for a telemarketing firm located in the Pawnee Plaza shopping center at Broadway and Pawnee streets in Wichita.
Music plays a larger part in our lives than many of us are conscious of until we consider what it would be like to not have music available in our homes or cars. As has been said by many, if we like certain music we don't just hear it-we feel it. It lifts us, inspires us, gives us energy. It certainly lifted Lezlie, and had such great significance to her. Her interest in music was immense and she'd studied it extensively including piano. She was also a former member of the marching band at Kansas State University. Her interest in music soon focused on singing. She was a really talented singer, having performed the national anthem at sporting events in Wichita. During the 1990's she also enjoyed competing in many of the evening karaoke contests held throughout the Wichita area where she generally placed in the top three, and many times won cash prizes for first place finishes. Lezlie was also a prize winner in a singing competition held on stage on Douglas Avenue in front of Century II during the Wichita Riverfest. All of these contests included a range of talented singers. Lezlie was well known in that circle and had a considerable group of friends and acquaintances. Most of us from other walks in life are uneasy when placed in front of a group people, but performing and singing on stage was one of Lezlie's very favorite places really. It was where she yearned to be, and of course was one of the places she knew she really excelled. And when this girl sang - she could fly. Lezlie could be seen during this time zipping around town in her grey/silver 1983 Mazda GLC, a car she drove for years. Friends, among them Rick Green and Larry Barnes, occasionally helped with repairs to make sure her car kept going. She loved that car.
Lezlie liked keeping up with the latest music, movies, trends, entertainment news, etc., but was also faithful to any of her old favorites. A few of these were the Cosby Show, Little House on the Prairie and the original Star Trek TV shows.
Lezlie had a great smile and laugh, and caring way about her. Unlike all of us can claim, her life touched so many in such a positive way. She will always be greatly missed by all those who knew her.

Please leave a flower here for Lezlie. There's space provided if you'd like to also leave a message or comment. And please do so anytime you like. It will show her and all who visit that you care.
