Leslee Turner

July 8, 1946 - April 20, 2021

On Tuesday, April 20, 2021, Leslee Turner, loving wife and mother of two children passed away at the age of 74. Leslee was born on July 18, 1946 in Anderson, IN to Francis and Hilda Humphrey. She received her BA in Education from Central Michigan University and taught 5th grade before moving into Human Resources at Hewitt Associates where she worked for nearly 30 years before retiring at 55. After retirement, her entrepreneurial spirit led her and husband Ron to open several small businesses before joining with her daughter Karen in 2003 to purchase Green Level Kennel, moving from Kennesaw, GA to Apex, NC. In 2006 her son Mark moved from Freeport, IL to Apex and became a part of the business as well. She was very proud of the business that flourished under her leadership. Leslee had a passion for people, church, motorcycles, traveling, and spending time with her family. In addition to being generously loving, Leslee was a planner, a problem solver and driven to meet the needs of others. Leslee was preceded in death by her father, Francis, and her mother Hilda. Her husband Ron, children Mark and Karen, brother Michael, several cousins and nephews Tod and Ryan, survive her. Her three grandchildren Cayden, Elaiah and Kyra held a very special place in her heart. The family is having a very small ceremony on Friday, April 23, 2021 at the Wake Memorial Park on Green Hope School Road in Cary, NC at 2 o’clock pm. Leslee has requested that in lieu of flowers, that donations be given to Transitions LifeCare Hospice in Cary, NC who took great care of her and her mother Hilda.
