Obituary

Leslie L. Horn, 49, of Whitehall, passed away on August 8, 2026, surrounded by her loving family after a brave battle with cancer.

Leslie's life was a testament to the power of resilience. She faced life's greatest challenges, including a long and deeply personal battle that she ultimately overcame, with great courage. Her ability to transform her life was an inspiration to all who knew her.

Just as she was embracing this new chapter, she was confronted with a cancer diagnosis. She fought this final battle with the same fierce bravery, and strength, that defined her recovery.

Leslie loved animals, especially her cats, Rocket, Turbo, Shadow, Missy Moo, and Midnight. She shared her "fur babies " with her best friend, Jeni, who was a devoted friend to her for many years.

Throughout her life, Leslie cared for many dogs and, more recently, cats, all of which brought her immense joy and happiness.

She loved music, good food, playing bingo, and spending time with her family and friends.

Leslie is survived by her mother, Roberta Horn; her sister, Lisa Lance, wife of Michael; and her nieces, Gabrielle and Jenna. She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Erma Applegate (6.8.96) and is now reunited with her in eternal peace.

No public services are scheduled. A private celebration of life will be held by the family.
