Leslie Denise Mallory

Leslie Denise Mallory was born on December 18, 1955, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to William Mallory (who preceded her in death) and Fannie Mallory.

A graduate of Woodward High School, Leslie dedicated much of her life to public service.
She began her career at the University of Cincinnati, later joining the Ohio Lottery Commission, where she served faithfully as a Sales Representative until her retirement.

She loved music, dancing, roller skating, and traveling, and she embraced life with energy, joy, and was fashionably stylish in her attire. Her distinctive and contagious laugh could fill a room and lift everyone’s spirits.

Leslie was the proud mother of three sons: Ajay, Aaron (who preceded her in death), and Cedric Jr. She was a devoted grandmother and great-grandmother, sharing unconditional love, laughter, and wisdom with her family.

She is survived by her loving mother, Fannie Mallory; her sons Ajay and Cedric Jr. (Chanika); her brothers Dwane, William Jr., Dale, Joe, and Mark; her cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends who will continue to carry her memory forward.

A private Celebration of Life will be held.
