Born at the former Leonard Hospital in Lansingburgh, November 5, 1948, Lesley was the daughter of the late Homer and Dorothy (Krough) Bulson and for over 39 years the wife and best friend of the William T. “Bill” Waters who predeceased her in 2009.

In her younger years she enjoyed camping with Bill and the kids, anywhere at anytime, especially to Aqua Vista and Moreau Lake State Park and was a member of the former ‘Wandering Wings” Camping Club. She also enjoyed spending many Thursday nights bowling at Hilltop Bowl as a member of the “Crazy Eights” bowling team and watching NASCAR races on the weekend.
