Obituary

Maxine Bowman Leslie, 80, of Chesterfield, VA went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Marion “Soney” Leslie, and parents, Virgil and Helen Bowman.

Maxine worked for JA Jones construction company and was the executive secretary while they built the Richmond Coliseum. After leaving the construction industry, Maxine worked full time alongside her husband for over 20 years at their automotive business, Soney’s Auto Repair, until they closed it in 1996. She worked for JC Penny’s catalog department where she met her dear friend, Betty Cockerham. Betty and Maxine were like sisters, and you rarely saw one without the other. After retirement she joined Chesterfield Triade and volunteered her time with many of their events and cherished the many friendships that she gained from the group. She worked for multiple years with Chesterfield Couty Fair Association as a department head coordinating the Canned Goods entries and awards. For twelve years, she participated along with Betty, her daughter Lynette and granddaughter Helena in collecting and delivery of toys to the Southwest Toy Drive in Lebanon, Virginia. Maxine was a lifelong member at Hopewell Methodist Church. Maxine is survived by her loving daughter, Lynette Eanes (Stephen) and son, Michael Leslie (Jennifer); her adoring granddaughter Helena Eanes, Ryan, MaKenzie, and Faithlyn Leslie; sister, Patricia Bowman; cherished cousins, Robbie Wheat and Shawn Prevette, and dear friends Betty Cockerham and Ronald Wimer. Maxine leaves behind a loving family and many special friends to cherish her memories.
