A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
June 17, 1987 – July 15, 2024
Leslie Catherine Hiller, 37, of Cincinnati, OH, left this world after bravely facing breast cancer and leptomeningeal metastases. She will forever be cherished by her parents, Robert and Laura Hiller, her dear sister, Elizabeth (Christopher) Gannon, and her adored niece, Clara Gannon, as well as her loving boyfriend, Daniel Espinoza, and a host of other family members and friends.
Known fondly as the family’s very own “plant lady,” Leslie had an unwavering love for crafting, sewing, and all things nature-related. She especially enjoyed visits with Bentley the Alpaca at Great Parks of Hamilton County where she worked.
Leslie’s warm and caring nature extended to all those around her, always ready with a helping hand and plenty of homemade goodies, from cookies to crafts, created straight from her heart.
A Mass in Leslie’s honor is scheduled to take place at the Church of the Assumption, 7711 Joseph St, Cincinnati, OH 45231, on Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 10:00 am. Prior to the service, there will be a visitation at the church starting at 9:00 am. On Wednesday, July 24th, 2024, visitation will be held at The Arlington Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, 2155 Compton Road, 45231 from 5:00 pm until 8:00 PM. Once on the grounds of the memorial park, turn LEFT and follow the BLUE line to the funeral home.
In Lieu of flowers please donate to www.pinkribbongood.org/donate or Hospice of Cincinnati at www.hospiceofcincinnati.org.
Leslie will always be remembered for her kind heart, creative spirit, and limitless generosity towards all who knew her. May she rest in peace.

“Dear Bob and Laura I can’t express how sorry I felt when I heard of your tragic loss. I would have been there to support you if I had found out in time. She must have been a very brave woman . You bore her suffering with courage and faith . No parents should have to bury a child. You have my deepest regrets. TLJ”

“Laurie, Rob – We were so shocked and saddened to hear about Leslie’s passing. We cannot imagine what you both and your family are going through right now. May God wrap his loving arms of comfort around you & bring you peace. We regret very much that we are unable to attend the visitations or the Mass as Rick is currently in a rehab hospital receiving acute therapy & recovering from some recent mobility issues. Continued prayers for all of you. Love & prayers, Rick & Vicki Endres”
