It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, sister and "Nana",  Leslie, who left us peacefully on January 6, 2025 at the age of 75.

Leslie was born on February 13, 1949 in Kosciusko, MS. A cherished daughter of Sam and Lillian McDonald she grew up in several locations due to her father's service in the U.S. Army. After graduating from Haughton High School in Haughton, LA, she attended Holmes Community College.
Leslie worked as a secretary/office manager most of her life and enjoyed shopping and home decorating. She especially had an eye for decorating her own as well as other people's homes.

Leslie was a member of Flowood Baptist Church for 20+ years and put her faith and trust in Jesus Christ as her personal Savior.
Leslie was a devoted wife to Donnie Thomas and a loving mother to Kami Thomas Roberson and Shannon Thomas Wallace. Her greatest joy was her family, whom she surrounded with unconditional love and unwavering support. She was also a proud grandmother "Nana" to Allie Cameron Roberson, Avery Carson Roberson, Reed Thomas Roberson, Emma Grace Wallace, and Samuel Thomas Wallace sharing with them her wisdom and warmth.

Leslie is survived by her husband of 55 years, Donnie Thomas, her daughters Kami Thomas Roberson (Mark Roberson) and Shannon Thomas Wallace (Tom Wallace), her 5 grandchildren Allie Cameron Roberson, Avery Carson Roberson, Reed Thomas Roberson, Emma Grace Wallace, and Samuel Thomas Wallace, and her sister Linda McDonald Oglesby. She is preceded in death by her parents, Sam and Lillian McDonald and her sister, Cathy McDonald.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Accent Hospice for their compassionate care during her final days.
