Leslie Susan Smith
October 25, 1966 — October 7, 2012
Leslie Susan Smith, 45, of Topeka, went to be with her Lord on Saturday, October 7, 2012.
She was born October 25, 1966 to Earl Smith, Jr. and Betty Gillum Smith in Atchison, KS. Leslie attended schools in Atchison and Topeka where she graduated from Highland Park High School.
