    Notes 
    • WAYLAND - Leslie James, 34, of Wolfanger Road, passed away early Saturday morning, Dec. 17, 2005, at her home after a courageous four and a half-year battle with cancer.
      Leslie was born July 3, 1971, in North Hornell, the daughter of Leslie Halbert Jr. and Martha Birchard Glover. She grew up in Canaseraga and graduated from high school there in 1989 as the salutatorian of her class. Leslie and Jamie James entered into marriage on Nov. 17, 1990, at the Dansville United Methodist Church. They recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. Leslie and Jamie lived in Dansville for a couple years prior to moving to the Wayland area.

      Leslie began a career 15 years ago with the former Brooks Drug Store (currently CVS) in Wayland and event-ually became the manager of the Wayland facility. She was an active softball and soccer player in the local women's leagues. She became quite the quiltmaker, along with enjoying gardening and flowers. She was very proud of their new home on Wolfanger Road, and apparently she liked to mow the lawn because every time she did she kept trying to make it bigger by mowing farther and farther each time. Leslie also enjoyed going to lunch with her mother. As she bravely fought her cancer with her many treatments and appointments, she could always fit in lunch with Mom.

      Leslie was predeceased by her maternal grandparents, Everett and Marvel Birchard, and her paternal grand-parents, Cleo and Leslie Halbert.

      Leslie is survived by her husband of 15 years, Jamie James of Wayland; her two daughters Sara and Hannah James, both of Wayland; her mother Martha (Gerald) Glover of Loon Lake; her father Leslie (Kathy) Halbert Jr. of Oswego; her father-and mother-in-law Terry and Leona James of Dansville; Grannie Clark of Perkinsville; siblings Kathie (Wally) Berry of Canaseraga, Cindy Rowley of Greece, Patricia (Elton) Shumway of Olean, Daniel and Andrew Rowley of Canaseraga, Jason (Stacy) Birchard of Waverly, Tenn., Wilson Rowley of Aberdeen, Md., Duane Glover of Wayland, Donald (Cathy) Glover of Cuba, James Halbert of Oswego and Christopher (Lisa) Halbert of Cohocton; sister- and brother-in-law Terra and Lorenzo Ylizarde of Wellington, Fla.; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

      Leslie's family and friends called 7-9 p.m. Sunday and 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Monday at the St. George-Stanton Funeral Home, 109 West Naples St., Wayland. Leslie's funeral service was conducted at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Dansville United Methodist Church, 5 Chestnut Ave., Dansville, the Rev. David Hotchkiss officiating, Leslie's funeral service.
