KING: Frances Leslie (nee Walsh)

Passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on June 2, 2021 in her 90th year. Predeceased by her adoring husband Patrick (2015). She will remain in the hearts of her children Michael (Carol), Geoffrey (Shelley), Victoria and Stephanie. Proud grandmother of Brent (Michelle), Paige (Jake), Michael (Victoria), Shelby (Cody), Cassandra (Matt), Fraser, Kelsey (Trevor), Blake and Jenna. Great grandmother of Olivia and Maverick. Special friend to Lou, Arnold, Rob and Leah. Sister to Frank (Beverly) Walsh and Patricia (Allan) Koch. Aunt to many nieces and nephews.

Leslie was born in Stratford, Ontario on February 16, 1932. The eldest child of the late Francis (Frank) Day Walsh and Audrey Harriet Howes. She resided in Goderich, Ontario from 1972 until her death.
She leaves behind a treasure trove of memories for those that knew her and will miss her old friends and the new friends she made at Goderich Place and special places like her beloved cottage. She is now at peace and with her loved ones and friends that left before her.
A celebration of Leslie’s life will be held post pandemic. In lieu of flowers, charitable donations to the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.
