Lesley KREISLER Obituary

Remembered as an ethereal beauty, intelligent and kind. Rest in Peace dear Leslie. Love and condolences to all the family.

Sending love and condolences to Nick, Eugene and Aaron.
Tom, Lesley and you three boys were John´s and my first friends when we arrived in NP in 1971. Lesley was an amazing hostess and cook and I have such fond memories of spending time at your Pendarves Street house. Lesley was a very talented and creative woman who inspired me to start my own embroidery. Thank you Lesley and Tom for all the art you contributed to make NP a more vibrant city.

Dear Nick, Eugene and Aaron
My deepest condolences at the passing of Lesley. Unfortunately I am presently in Australia so will be unable to attend the service .
My sincere commiserations to you all on this very sad time.

It has been my pleasure to work as a colleague of Leslie, as we all supported and encouraged each other in the Taranaki Home Economics and Technical Teachers Association. Her friendliness, creativity and style has made our world a more vibrant place.
My condolences to the family.

The Spotswood College Alumni extends its deepest sympathy to the extended Kreisler family on the passing of Lesley.
Lesley taught Clothing & Textiles at the College for 26 years, starting in 1979 and resigning at the end of Term 1, 2006.
She had a passion for her subject area with one of the highlights being the placings her students received at the annual New Zealand Secondary Schools "Young Designer's Awards" held at the Christchurch Town Hall. Spotswood College senior students were finalists at these awards from 1994-1998. There were several other fashion awards that Lesley's students successfully participated in.
Lesley was a special teacher, well liked by her students. RIP Lesley.

It was great sadness that I received the news of the passing of Lesley. Unfortunately I am presently overseas so will be unable to attend the memorial service for Lesley.
To all the family my sincere condolences to you all on the loss of a very special lady.
In her time at Spotswood College, she always presented as a caring and knowledgeable teacher who was well liked and regarded by her students for her tireless work and intellect in ensuring her students strived to be the very best they can be.The success that many of her students achieved ,particularly in the field of design, was outstanding.All done with that special demeanour of the elegant lady she was.

Lesley will always have a place in my heart; she was one very classy lady, initially a work colleague and a beautiful friendship developed while she lived in New Plymouth. I will always admire Lesley's love for and dedication to her sons. Rest in peace, united with Tom - you so deserve it. xxx
