Leslie A. Foraker, 48 of Millersville, passed away on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. She was born on October 11, 1977, in Springfield, the daughter of James E. and Patricia A. (Thomason) Olive. She married Aaron Foraker on May 21, 1999, in Taylorville. She graduated from Taylorville High School in 1995. Leslie worked for 18 years as a dedicated and caring dispatcher with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office and most recently as the office manager at Brent West Trucking. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and spent many years at the Christian County Fairgrounds, along with her parents, setting up and serving through the fair.

Leslie loved the outdoors, sitting by the fire with family and friends, camping, and hanging out on the lake. Leslie especially loved being surrounded by her family, friends and all the kiddos whom she considered her own. Another of Leslie's biggest loves was animals, where some days she would bring the strays home for adoption.
