Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • My deepest condolences. I worked with Lesley at the University of Winnipeg and was part of a larger social group outside the institution. We shared many a great coffee and conversations in Tony's canteen and dinners with friends.I appreciated Lesley's strength of character, her intellect and quiet joy which was always infectious. Peace to the family - Posted by: David Hewlett (Friend and colleague) on: Jun 14, 2026

  • Very sad to hear the news of Lesley’s passing. So many fond memories of Christmas dinners together growing up. Lesley had a wonderful sense of humour and was always a pleasure to be around. Sincere condolences to Lesley’s husband Lewis, brother John and all her family and friends. - Posted by: Murray Sisler (Cousin) on: Jun 13, 2026

  • I attended the U of W Collegiate during the late-80's and she was the vice-principal. When I first entered, Grade 11, I had an obnoxious attitude and said a lot of irreverent things in public and she saw me to do about it at times. At that time, I was a student who went from school to school and I got a lot of singling out from my peers. I arrived at U of W Collegiate with the attitude 'nobody respects me so what do I have to lose?' Over time, she was able to show me that I can do better and be better. Even after I graduated from The Collegiate, I attended the University. We frequently crossed paths and she was happy to see me. When I graduated from the University with my BA, I gave her a card thanking her for showing me the way and believing in me. - Posted by: Jon Lewak (Former Student) on: Jun 13, 2026
