Leslie Tabo, age 71, of Wilmington, went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.

Leslie was born in Wilmington, daughter of the late Phyllis Ann (Davies) and Harry Wade Van Newkirk. Leslie graduated from William Penn high school, Class of 1970, and went on to work at Bank of America in the collections department until her retirement. After retirement, Leslie also worked for Messiahs Angels in the billing department. Leslie's family and friends remember her as a sweet, kind, and loving person who was always willing to lend a helping hand. In her free time, Leslie loved listening to music, especially classic rock, and spending time with her friends and family. In addition to her parents, Leslie was also predeceased by her loving husband, Stanley Edward Tabo.

Leslie is survived by her sister, Kerrie Ann King; niece, Mary Ann Poudel; and numerous aunts, cousins, and close family and friends.
