Kathy my heart breaks for you not being here anymore. I can’t even remember how we met but I’m so glad we did, then you took our friendship one step further when I started cleaning your home which you and Trev welcomed me. We had the best laughs about anything, got on our soapboxes about things and tried to solve the problems of our world.

My thoughts are with you during this incredibly difficult time,
Kathy was an incredible woman & will be hugely missed by everyone she met & meant the world to. 💖I’ll forever cherish memories with Kathy & her banter on the Bowling Green (especially playing against Kathy in the Preliminary Final earlier this year with her teasing about Dad’s Spotted Bowls).
Having a chat in Woolworths while doing our shopping or coming to see her ever growing collection of Christmas Decorations aka her favourite time of the year 💖RIP Kathy xx

It is with immense sadness that Winchelsea Blues have received the news of the passing of a wonderful player for Corangamite in Kathy Leslie. Particularly well known and extremely highly regarded by our players as a fun loving and caring person, highly respected for her lovely nature and skill as a player. It was always a joy to spend a day with Kathy either win or lose. Deepest sympathy to her husband Trevor (Harpo) their families and also Colac City Bowling Club Members who will certainly feel this loss deeply.
