Leslie Elizabeth LeComte, age 61, of Bloomington, passed away Wednesday evening at the IU Health University Hospital in Indianapolis. Born October 9, 1956 in Lakeland, FL, she was the daughter of Edward Lawford Cole and Audrey Elizabeth DeVann Cole. Leslie earned her B.S. in Business Administration from Indiana Institute of Technology and had completed multiple graduate certificates in fundraising and non-profit administration from the University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business. Recently retired from leadership positions at My Sister’s Closet and Middle Way House, she had formerly worked as Vice President of Site Operations for Xerox State and Local Solutions in Indianapolis. She enjoyed gardening, fine art, interior decorating, and home renovation. She was an avid reader of mystery novels and loved spending time at the ocean. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Bloomington. Family was first with Leslie, and she was an incredibly loving wife, mother and grandmother. She is survived by: her loving husband, Richard Nash, of Bloomington; two dear daughters and their spouses, Ashley (Patrick McWilliams) LeComte-McWilliams, of Manassas, Virginia; and Carlyce (Jonathan) Fitch, of Sterling, Virginia; one step-daughter and her spouse, Carolyn (Jason Loughnane) Nash, of Yangon, Myanmar; and multiple grandchildren: Selena, Quinn, Owen, Jackson, Madeleine, Tyler, and two more expected later this year. Leslie was preceded in death by her parents. A memorial service will be held in July at the First Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks memorial contributions be given to Middle Way House, My Sister’s Closet or to the Myanmar Center for Civic Leadership (Global Giving).
