Lessolungo Blackwell Passmore

Lessolungo Blackwell Passmore, age 60, of West Virginia, went home to be with the Lord November 24, 2014. Lessolungo was born to Martha and John Airy Blackwell on August 15, 1954.

Lessolungo was loved by her family and community. She was a member of Church of Christ. Lessolungo was vibrant, creative, full of life and multitalented in so many things. Her hobbies were plants, sewing, gardening and traveling. She was an activist in the community, in charge of the Bird Sanctuary on 5th St. in Columbus, Ohio. She graduated from South Western College with honors and also loved exotic foods from all countries.

Lessolungo is survived by her sisters Sabrina Taylor and Pat Boykin, a brother, children Tameeka Haislip Reeves, Laneeka Haislip, April Haislip, Beauford Booker, Aaron Booker and Kelli Reese, 19 grandchildren and a host of other family and friends.

In loving memory of her we will cherish and keep her past memories shared and in our hearts with Ms. Leslie. We will surely miss her joy, smiles and laughter.
