"Leslie Carr
New Brunswick Provincial President
Although Leslie spent her preteen years in the United States, she embraced her
Canadian home with deep loyalty. She studied as a medical laboratory technologist,
obtaining national certification and worked in hospital laboratories for 13 years before
transferring to the environmental field. Leslie remains an advocate for both health care
and environmental protection. She loves to travel and has visited all ten provinces and
several European countries.
Leslie is blessed with two sons, a wonderful daughter-in-law and three grandchildren.
Sadly, she lost her husband several years ago after 35 years of marriage.
Leslie has always had a deep connection with her faith and has served as a catechist,
sacristan, Eucharistic minister, greeter and a member of her parish pastoral council.
She completed a year of study in the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, acting as a
sponsor to her late husband.
Leslie’s membership in the League began 39 years ago, after she relocated to a
new community for her husband’s work. The friendships made have given her strength
through many life-changing events. She served as secretary and vice-president/chairperson
of organization at the parish level. At the provincial level, Leslie served as chairperson of
communications, was a member of the planning committee for the 2023 national annual
meeting of members, presented workshops on the strategic plan resources, particularly
those pertaining to leadership and assisted with Unity Outreach presentations. She was
a presenter of the workshop “Lead Us Closer to You, Lord,” at the 2025 national convention.
Leslie is forever grateful for her faith and for the friends she has made through her journey
and looks forward to many more. "
