Not long after starting her nursing career, Leslie met and married Don Beeler and the newlyweds settled into the Comox Valley in 1979 where they raised their two boys, Barry and Mark. Leslie's hunger for travel and adventure led the family on many road trips back to her family farm in Alberta, as well visits to Ontario to see Don's family, and all-over North America. For Leslie, life was all about relationships. Leslie was known for her incredible heart for people, for welcoming people from all backgrounds into meaningful relationship, leading to her often being described as a rare gem, who gave the best hugs.

She loved going to different performances, swim lessons, or just any opportunity she had to spend time with her grandkids and get out on an adventure.
