Leslie Eleanor Russ of Bowie, Maryland, was called to her eternal home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ on March 3, 2026. Loving, hard-working, creative with an eye for interior design, a mind for business, and a soft spot for dogs, Leslie was unapologetically devoted to her family, especially to her son, Nicholas. She is survived by her son, three siblings (including her twin sister, Lynn), one nephew (Eli), and many cousins and friends--all whose lives were enriched beyond measure for having known and been loved by her.
Leslie was preceded in death by her parents--Craig (Sr.) and Margaret Russ, as well as her older brother, Craig (Jr.). At Leslie’s request, she was cremated.
