It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Leslie Allison Eck-Dissek, a beloved wife, sister, aunt, and dedicated clinical social worker. Leslie was born on April 22, 1958, in Havre De Grace, Maryland, and she departed this world on November 3, 2026, leaving a profound impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Leslie's warmth and compassion touched the lives of many throughout her career as a clinical social worker, where she dedicated herself to helping others in need. Her professional journey was marked by a deep commitment to the well-being of her clients, and she approached her work with the empathy and kindness she embodied in her personal life.

In addition to her professional accomplishments, Leslie was a woman of many passions. She cherished her time spent horseback riding, forming deep bonds with her beloved horses and other animals. Leslie also had a keen eye for antiques, and she enjoyed the thrill of discovering hidden treasures.
