Leslie Ann (nee Pawliw) Goller was the youngest of three children born to Carl and Georgina Pawliw on August 23, 1960, in Shellbrook, SK. She grew up on a farm near Mildred, SK. She loved riding horses. Leslie and Georgina spent some time living in Glenbush while her mom had a teaching position there; this was around the age of 16. Leslie and Cheryl, Phil's wife at the time, would spend hours driving around Glenbush and Medstead, Les loved to drive. They liked to live on the wild side and sneak Phil's motor bikes out while he was off at work. Leslie met Ron Goller in Spiritwood and was married Nov 11, 1979. They enjoyed their trips to Calaway Park every summer as a family. Christmas traditions were spent with the Goller's on Christmas Eve and then the Pawliw farm for Christmas Day. While raising her four children, Leslie ran a daycare out of her home. She was a dedicated wife and mother and would do anything for her family. Years later they moved to Cochin where she managed the Jackfish Lodge. Once she moved to Drumheller, AB she enjoyed her job with Shopper's Place. She was always a hard worker. Leslie always had a busy household; the Goller home was open to anyone in need. The perfect quote to describe their home, "hospitality is not about inviting people into our perfect homes; it is all about inviting people into our imperfect hearts." Leslie represented strength, compassion, fun and love. Leslie was gifted with nine grandchildren, and one on the way, all highlights of her life, they will always remember Grandma as having their backs and being their friend, having a bag of candy in her pocket for them each visit and when she'd come to town for Christmas, she'd have a big sack of presents just like Santa. She always had a big spread that would feed an army. Then the adults would play cards for hours while all the grandkids played, making memories. In 2007, Leslie made a leap of faith and moved to Drumheller, AB, where she met the love of her life James Hosie, two peas in a pod, inseparable. They spent their time together going for walks, camping and playing online games such as the famous Candy Crush. They recently went on a road trip to Vancouver where they visited family, the drive was breathtaking. We will all miss your smiling eyes. Leslie leaves to cherish her memory: Her loving partner, James Hosie, her loving children: Michael (Kim) Goller and children: Madison and Tatum; Donna (Colin) Rosenberg and children: Cabri, Chase, Brooklyn and Hudson, Jodi (Steven) deGroot and children: Brody and Hailey; and Tyson Goller; her brothers: Phil (Cheryl) Pawliw, Bradley Pawliw (Deanna Colley), numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
