Leslie St. John Nanny, neƩ Widder, of Sarasota, FL passed away on Wednesday, November 20, 2019. Leslie was born in Greenwich CT on March 1, 1941 to George Edwin Widder and Alice St. John Maloney. Leslie graduated from Sarasota County Adult High School in 1962. She worked for GTE for many years, retiring in 1995, and worked part time at CVS until the summer of 2019.

Leslie was a very kind and friendly person who loved everyone. She enjoyed traveling and visiting relatives whenever she could, and was always delighted to open her home for family visits. She loved to connect with family and friends on Facebook and was known for sending greetings each morning and night. She always had a cat, who brought her joy.
