Lesli was born on July 24, 1968, in Beaver, Okla. to Peggy and Al Lemons. Lesli spent her childhood being a coach’s kid and collecting memories and friends along the way. Lesli moved to White Deer in 1978. She was active in high school, where she enjoyed a variety of activities such as band, track, basketball and One Act Play. Lesli graduated with honors in 1986 and attended McMurry University and West Texas State University in Canyon. Lesli had three children and moved away for several years before coming back to reside in Pampa. She worked at CRL Pump and Supply for the past 7½ years as the store manager.
Lesli loved and enjoyed her job, customers, and being able to hold her own with her knowledge and passion for getting things done right. Lesli was insistent on making the most of life; she traveled, planted flowers, shopped to the point of wearing out anyone brave enough to tag along, and planned casino trips. She attended a variety of family events, smiling for pictures, making jokes, and saying whatever came to her mind. Lesli made the most out of her time, with faith, class, and with no regrets. She was the inventor of Hallothanksmas and the center of family fun. Lesli was incredibly proud of her daughters and son, as they all brought her indescribable joy. The bond they shared was beautiful, even in the tough times they could laugh and overcome it all. Second to her children was the relationship she had with her grandsons; MiMi always said “yes.”
She was preceded in death by a sister, Traci Noah; paternal grandparents, Nell and Mason Lemons; maternal grandparents, Lyla Haskell and Veck Haskell; and an aunt, Vesta Patee.
Survivors include three children, Whitney and husband Don Short of Amarillo, Kiley Goldston of White Deer and Brendan Hudspeth of White Deer; two grandsons, Graysen and Brooks Short of Amarillo; her parents, Peggy and aAL Lemons of White Deer; two sisters, Kari and husband Truitt Hayes of Amarillo and Cortni and husband Buck Angeley of Snyder; eight nephews, Evin Abbe, Aron Abbe, Eric Abbe and wife Hailey all of Abilene, Chandler Hayes and wife Haley, Logan Hayes, all of Amarillo, Dyllan and Jaxon Angeley of Snyder; two great-nephews, Allen and Easton Hayes of Amarillo; along with aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
