Evelyn joined the Army in 1981, and was honorable discharged in 1991. While in the military she married Terrance Leslie, and from this union two children were born David and Cindi. Then in 1995 she was blessed with another son Alexander Stallworth.

Evelyn started her career at the VA Lakeside Medical Center. She has received several promotions and awards for her services while continuing to still work at the V.A. until retirement. Evelyn really loved coding, and was a great teacher.

Evelyn personality was so warm and bubbly to everyone that knew her and had a laugh that no one will ever forget. You can always look for her to brighten up your day with just a simple joke. Evelyn really enjoyed her music, her favorite artist of all time, were R. Kelly and Jaheim. Evelyn was a wonderful mother, grandmother and a true friend. She enjoyed shopping, eating out and playing blackjack 21 with her grandson Larry Johnson. Evelyn was a very hard worker at whatever she did, and always gave her all.

Evelyn leave to mourn her passing two children, Cindi Leslie and Alexander Stallworth, a grandson Larry Johnson, a brother Glenn Williams and a host of other family and friends. She will always be remembered never forgotten.

Evelyn J. Leslie was really precious to me. She was always full of happiness and joy. She was the main one that will encourage me to do good, stay positive and stay in school.Mom, thank you for all you have done and I promise I will be a huge success in life.

Love always, your son, Alex

Psalms 23The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff theycomfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the

Presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cuprunneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of

my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
