Leslie Naomi Nebeker, age 68, passed away on July 6, 2026. Born on January 22, 1958, in Afton, Leslie was the beloved daughter of Ken and Meleese Nebeker.

Leslie was a devoted mother to Jeremy Wilkins, Justin Wilkins, and Landon Wilkins, and a proud grandmother (Nana) to Presley and Derrick Wilkins.

Throughout her life, Leslie embraced many careers, each reflecting her strong work ethic and caring nature. She worked at the family drive-in, sewed scripture totes for Angela's Totes, and later served for many years as a rural mail carrier with the United States Postal Service. Retirement was never a time to slow down for Leslie. She continued serving others by driving for AARP, helping veterans get to their medical appointments, and later drove a shuttle between Jackson and Salt Lake City.

Leslie had an extraordinary gift for making people feel seen and valued. Her bright smile and heartfelt laugh were infectious and impossible to resist. She sincerely listened, remembered the little details that mattered—favorite restaurants, hobbies, and special interests—and always found ways to brighten someone's day. Her generosity knew no bounds. Whether it was offering a helping hand, giving her time, or baking one of her famous pies as a thank-you for something as simple as shoveling her sidewalk or clearing her driveway, Leslie believed kindness should always be returned with gratitude.

Her home was the neighborhood's favorite stop on Halloween, where countless children looked forward to trick-or-treating each year. Leslie had a remarkable ability to make every person she met feel important, welcomed, and loved.

A born adventurer, Leslie lived her days with curiosity, courage, and heart. She loved walking, and friends often saw her out each morning, sometimes making the journey all the way to the Star. She had a lifelong love of horses and rarely passed up an opportunity to try something new—once riding a racehorse. She picked up rollerblading, snowboarding, bicycling; and at 57, she went skydiving. On her motorcycle, she got a real kick out of the biker name her riding buddies gave her: Tinkerbell, or "Tink" for short. She was also an accomplished seamstress whose creativity showed in everything she made, and she found real joy on the dance floor.

Leslie's greatest legacy is not found in the miles she drove or the many jobs she held, but in the countless lives she touched. She had an incredible way of making people feel loved, appreciated, and capable of more than they believed possible. Her compassion, generosity, adventurous spirit, and unwavering kindness will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ken and Meleese Nebeker, and her sister, Amy Nebeker. Leslie is survived by her sons, Jeremy Wilkins, Justin Wilkins (Chrissy), and Landon Wilkins; her beloved grandchildren, Presley and Derrick Wilkins; and her siblings, Christine Welchman (David), Eric Nebeker (Tonia), Sue Helm (Dee), and Ed Nebeker.

She will be deeply missed by her family, her friends, and the many people whose lives were made brighter simply because Leslie was part of them. Her memory will live on in every act of kindness, every homemade pie shared with gratitude, and every person who chooses to make someone else feel as special as she always did.
