Leslie Janis Rewoldt passed away mid morning on Thursday May 18, 2023.  She was born at home 22751 Oak Lane Warren Twp., MI on January 26, 1953 to Lillian Pearl Rodda, and Willam Roudolph Hill. She has two sisters Sharon Roda Hulverson (deceased Oct. 6, 2018), and Arlene Denise Nappier (still living).  She had her first child William Roger Hill when she was 19 with Mark Milasinovich. She married Robert Steffen Rewoldt on Oct. 8, 1977. They met at Continental Plastics, Bob was Leslie's boss. They had two children, Kelly Ann (Rewoldt) Kelly, and Robert Steffen Rewoldt II. They were happily married for 28 years when Robert (Bob) passed away on July 14, 2005. She never remarried, and spoke of him every day. She missed him with all of her heart. 

Leslie loved her family with a fierceness like no other. She told people like it was good or bad. She always had a shoulder to cry on, and gave everything she had to everyone around her who needed help. She took in her friends children, as well as other family members as her own. She loved to laugh, talk, and crack jokes. She was a huge Elvis fan, even went to his funeral in Graceland, and talked about it often. She loved to fish and be on the water with her husband and kids. She loved to go camping. 

No matter how bad things got, she always found a way to make it through, and teach strength to those around her.  She impacted so many peoples lives. She just cared. 

Leslie never stayed away from hard work. She sewed boat covers and cushions for many years. Later in life she was a care giver for mentally disabled people. She had such a strong connection to one particular person, she opened up her own home to him to care for him there. She fixed up her house with help from Bob then completed it on her own after he passed away. She loved flowers and liked to garden. She would tan so dark in the summer tending to the flower beds. Yellow roses were her favorite flower. Turquoise was her favorite color. She loved stuffed animals. 

Leslie was independent, however never thought bad of men, or that they weren't needed. If her husband was tired, she would do the hard work so that he could rest. If she didn't know how to do something, she taught herself so that she could accomplish her goals without burdening anyone else. 

In the last years of her life, she fought to hang on for her children, so that they weren't alone. 

She was fiercely loved in return and will be immeasurably missed.
