Mrs. Leslie A. Jaber passed away peacefully on April 9th, 2025 at the age of 63. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She was born on August 16th, 1961 to her parents, Gerald and Shirley Ellis.
Leslie was predeceased by her loving husband, Michael and her parents; but is survived by her children, Paige and Victor; her 5 brothers, David, Robert, Kevin, Gerry, and Patrick Ellis; and too many family members and friends to count.
Leslie graduated from Henry Abbott Technical High School in 1979 with a certificate in graphic communication and drafting; and earned an associate's degree from Western CT State University. She was very well respected in her field of work as a project manager and was a member of the Elks Lodge #120 for many years.
She was always willing to help people in any way she could and took pride in being the mother figure for so many. She will always be remembered for her extraordinary sense of compassion, integrity, and unwavering resilience.
The family will welcome relatives and friends on Thursday, April 17th, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Cornell Memorial Home, located at 247 White Street in Danbury.
