Leslie graduated from Walnut Hills High School in 1997 and attended Wilberforce University.  While at Wilberforce, she helped to establish the Wilberforce Chapter of the NAACP.  She was an advocate for youth and had a passion for caring for all kinds of animals. A good game of golf made her day.

One of the happies moments of her life was November 24, 2002, when she gave birth to her first child, Isaiah Dontae Solomon Brown.  Most recently, this joy was repeated May 1, 2018 when she gave birth to Lilah Zoe Hill Dates.

She was employed by Fifth Third Bank for many years in a managerial position.  At the time of her death, Leslie was employed by the Kroger Company in a District Manager Training Program.

Leslie was devoted, caring, nurturing mother, and a fierce protector of family and friends.  She had a sharp intellect and a great sense of humor.  She also had a big warm smile that would melt your heart.

When you got to know Leslie, you learned she loved big band music and jazz.  She loved keeping up with the current fashion trends and was impeccably dressed each time you saw her.

Leslie Clara Hill was greatly loved by all who know her.  She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
