Leslie - alongside her husband Brian ran The Jewel Box from The Old Granary for twenty five years.

Leslie then became a valued member of the sales team - both at The Old Granary and at Muggeridge Farm.

A wonderful lady who will be sorely missed.

Leslie's funeral will be held at Southend Crematoriam on Thursday 16th June at 10.40am

The wake will follow at the Battlesbridge Events Marquee.

Dark clothes are not necessary - the theme for ladies is butterflies and any donations to Fair havens Hospices as per Leslie's wishes.
