Obituary: Leslie Anne (Drucker) Priest Of Nashua

NASHUA, NH — Leslie Anne (Drucker) Priest, 51, passed away in Nashua, New Hampshire, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

She was the beloved wife of John Priest, and is survived by her parents, Avis and Allen Drucker, and her sister, Vicki Drucker of Chatham, Cape Cod, and by her mother-in-law, Susan Priest of Ohio.

A graduate of Syracuse University, she was employed by the Teledyne Company in Nashua, New Hampshire. A strong work ethic, she enjoyed working with her colleagues and the international sales team at Teledyne, formally FLIR, all through her treatment.

A highly social person with a wicked sense of humor, her greatest pleasure was entertaining family and friends around her large rustic table laden with great B/Q prepared by John.

A definite favorite was the annual summer gatherings of her large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins at their family home in Chatham that featured never too much food and hilarious stories.

Last but not least were their pugs, Magoo, Baloo, and Rocco, who were always at the center of everything. She and John loved sitting on their deck, watching the three dogs running around their yard chasing imaginary foes.

Leslie’s family would like to thank the many friends and colleagues who offered love and support throughout her many years of treatment.

Most importantly, they would like to extend a special thank you to her medical team at Dana Farber/Brigham for their dedicated and compassionate care throughout her long journey.

Services and Shiva will be private.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Dana Farber.
