OBITUARY
Leslie Elise Parker passed away on April 28, 2022. She is survived by her daughter and
son-in-law, Jennifer and Rabbi Daniel Greyber; daughter and soon to be son-in-law, Abby Tatum
and Van Little; her sister, Annice Parker; and grandchildren Alon, Benjamin, and Ranon Greyber
and Chase Tatum.Leslie was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee and had a charmed childhood on Missionary Ridge,
living next door to aunts, uncles, and cousins. Her parents, Alex and Pauline Parker were
childhood sweethearts, who called each other “Sweetie.” The family, which by then included
younger sister, Annice, moved to Atlanta when Leslie was 12 years old. Leslie attended
Northside High School and later University of Georgia and Georgia State University and was a
middle school special ed teacher for several years. Leslie married Tommy May and they had two
daughters, Jennifer and Abigail. She studied to become a paralegal when her children were
young and was very well respected as a corporate paralegal at several top law firms in Atlanta
throughout her career. Leslie was also married to James Pepper (z”l) and, most recently, Rabbi
Stephen Listfield.Leslie especially loved ballet, dogs, doughnuts, gardening, and all kinds of Mediterranean food.
She loved murder mysteries, Christmas movies, Queen, The Wizard of Oz, and anything British.
She had a strong sense of ethics and always wanted to be remembered as a person of high
moral standards. Leslie had already survived cancer in 2007 before being diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer in 2017.In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Alaqua Animal Refuge in Freeport, FL,
