Leslie Anne Bowlus, age 54, born October 26, 1965, went to live with her Lord, Jesus September 14, 2020.
Leslie, a dearly loved leader, educator, wife, mother, and best friend to many.
She helped others despite her own trials. She was a fierce advocate for those who have Metastatic Breast Cancer. She educated people throughout the world with her almost decade long video blog about her medical treatments and journey. The blog provides a window in to her personal experiences of being a full-time Metastatic Breast Cancer patient with the goal of guiding others who are about to go through the same treatments. She gave people reasons to hope, smile, and laugh, and through her blog; encouraged others to always ask questions about their treatments.
Leslie had a deep love for her family and Dachshunds. She loved coffee and a comfy blanket, gardening, crafting, exploring (and getting lost together). She was always learning a new hobby to share with her family. She was an avid reader, she knew all about the stars (the earthly and heavenly kinds). She loved weekend country drives for the simple purpose of enjoying the beauty of her chosen home, Tennessee.
She loved music. Her love for understanding the true stories behind music lyrics kept her family occupied for hours as she led discussions about why certain songs were written, what they really mean, and the lessons learned.
Leslie is dearly missed.
Leslie was preceded in death by her Father, Lester Dunne; Son, Daniel; Daughter, Casey; Sister, Lynn Marie Wilson; Brothers, Patrick “Lil Pat” Leroy Dunne and James Dunne.
She is survived by her Husband, Monier “Mo”; Son, Eric; Daughter, Annalese; Daughter in Law, Caitlin; and Grand Daughter, Marin.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Leslie’s memory to METAvivor Research and Support.
