Leslie Beans

Leslie Ann Beans, age 58, of Dover, died in a quiet, beautiful moment on Sunday morning, March 15, 2020, in her residence, surrounded by her loved ones, following a brief battle with cancer.

Born in Union Hospital at Dover on December 11, 1961, Leslie is survived by her father and step-mother, John and Ruth Roth of Dover.

She was a 1980 graduate of New Philadelphia High School and a longtime employee of ProVia Door at Sugarcreek. Leslie was a member of Winfield United Methodist Church and enjoyed traveling. She especially enjoyed trips to Montana and most recently made a very special trip to Punta Cana. She will always be remembered for her smile and her dry sense of humor. Family meant everything to Leslie and she especially enjoyed holiday gatherings and Thursday night dinners.

In addition to her father and step-mother, Leslie is survived by her three children, Kelsie (Raymond) Shanefelt of Dover, Jordan Beans of New Philadelphia and Jeremy (Maggie Murphy) Beans of Dover; her beloved grandchildren, Emma Shanefelt and Mason Beans; her longtime companion, Jim Loibl of Dover; her siblings, John (Vera) Roth of Woodsfield, Joseph (Jeanmarie) Roth of New Philadelphia and Linda (Tim Humphrey) Miller of Stonecreek and her nieces and nephews, Veronica, Floie, Sam, Rachel, Abby and Timothy.

Leslie was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Emogene (Demuth) Roth; an infant brother, William Roth and a nephew, Terry Roth.
