LESLIE'S LIFE & LEGACY
Leslie was a bright and beautiful soul who was born on September 15, 1971 at Earl K. Long Hospital in Baton Rouge, LA. A vibrant and loving daughter, she is survived by her parents, Ianthia (Kathy) Washington Williams and Quindell Washington. Leslie was an unforgettable spirit whose light shined brightly in every room she entered.

She was employed by the Louisiana Workforce Commission for 2-1/2 years as an
