Leslie James, 60, was reunited with her Heavenly and Earthly fathers on June 26, 2022. A lifetime Ohio resident, she resided in Ashtabula for almost 30 years, after leaving her hometown of Lisbon, Ohio.

Leslie was predeceased by her father, Richard “Dick” James, and grandparents, William and Ada James and Glennis Study. Leslie leaves behind, the love of her life, husband, Carlos Carr; mother, Barbara; sisters, Lynne and Lisa; brothers, Rick and Lee; bonus daughter, Linde; eight nieces and nephews; seven great nieces and nephews; and three great-great nieces. Leslie also leaves behind her fur baby, Whiskers.

Leslie loved her family and friends and was fiercely loyal. 

Through the years, she enjoyed camping, fishing, dancing, golfing, Cedar Point, and volunteering at the American Legion.  Leslie will be dearly missed and always remembered.
