Rest in peace Lesley. I will always remember the time in NZ staying with you and your family but maybe even more how you have stayed in touch through the years. I was happy that you came to see us in Sweden when you did your big trip ❤️ I’m so sad now but you will remain in many people’s hearts 💗

Dear Lesley, I have nothing but happy, fun and great memories of knowing you so well as we worked together with our Manukau Altrusa ladies service group. What super times we enjoyed at our annual conferences, planning fund raising events like our long Italian lunch, our huge garage sales and providing basic family recipes for our local community through the Plunket nurses. We were a happy social bunch of women wanting to help when and where we could. Lesley you were always beautifully groomed and dressed and topped with your lovely big smile. In later years we rang each other on our birthdays and exchanged our family news. You were always so proud of Scott, Lissa, Paige and Rory. There is a season, a reason and a lifetime in friendships, thank you for our season and reason for knowing each other. Kind wishes to your family and like them, you'll always be in my thoughts. Sunshine and petals, flowers and leaves fall softly on you. Rest in peace my dear friend. Julia Phillipps Papamoa Beach

Dear Scott and family, I am so sorry to learn of Lesley's passing. I had only been working at KB a few months before Lesley left for Aria Bay... she was well-loved and had a great sense of humour. RIP lovely lady.

I was shocked when I heard Lesley had passed away Scott, I told her I would visit her soon, in Browns Bay but my own health took a turn for the worse and I never made it. I do hope she enjoyed her final months in her new abode, Lesley was always a friendly face in our apartment corridor at Knightsbridge May she Rest in Peace 🌹
