Leslie was born on Christmas Day, 1953 in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. She was a daughter of the late Lisle Albert and Lois Marie Ulichnie.

Leslie was a beacon of kindness and generosity, leaving an enduring mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. With a green thumb that seemed to flourish effortlessly, she nurtured vibrant gardens and delighted in baking, always eager to share her bountiful plants and delicious treats with family and friends. Her pockets were often filled with candy, a testament to her playful spirit and her love for bringing smiles to children.

A true animal lover, Leslie opened her heart to all creatures, finding joy in their companionship. Her greatest joy, however, came from her cherished role as a mother and grandmother. Leslie’s nurturing spirit and unwavering support will forever be remembered.

Though her departure leaves a profound void in their lives, her loved ones find solace in the countless memories they shared and the lasting love that will continue to inspire them. Leslie’s spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, reminding them to embrace kindness and generosity in their own lives.

Leslie was preceded in death by her brother, Dennis John Ulichnie; Godmother, Joann Novak and Godson, Joseph Anthony Woodall.

Leslie is survived by her beloved son, Lester Boyer, the light of her life; her devoted daughter-in-law, Kimberley Boyer; and her cherished grandson, Brody Boyer, who brought her endless joy. She is also survived by her siblings, Ruth Francis (Ricky), Dianne Woodall, Lester Ulichnie (Terri), Karen Cellars (Mike); and Mary McElwee; Uncle Andrew Coghe (Fran), Aunt Janis Likar and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. Also included as family would be her very close and dear friend, Barbara Fleming Thibodeaux.

The family would like to thank Dr. Richard Travis Wilkes for his compassion and care.
