LESLIE Denise Smith died at VAB hospital in Birmingham, Alabama on Friday, July 22nd at the age of 55.

LESLIE is survived by her husband Phillip Ray, Children Robert Ray Smith, Ashley (Ken) Lutz & Michael Ray, granddaughter Harper Lutz, siblings Audrey Tramber, Sue Atkins, Cheryl Smith, Robert Smith, Wes Smith and many nieces & nephews she preceded in death by her parents Robert E. Smith and Dolores W. Smith.

LESLIE was born on July 4th, 1961 in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a very open hearted person. All of her friends instantly became family. If we were to continue her list of family members that list would go on and on. She was always so welcoming of everyone.

LESLIE was a devoted mother to Robert. He was her entire world. She was 41 when she had Robert. She didn't even know she could have children. This made their bond that more special.

LESLIE was taught by her father to always root for the underdog. That is what she loved about being a warehouse Supervisor. She could help train and motivate an employee to obtain a position they never thought possible.

LESLIE will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all that knew her.

Funeral Service is scheduled for Friday July, 29th at 3pm at ML Middlebrooks Memorial Chapel at 220 Charlie Patterson Rd. Grantville, Georgia 30220
