Leslie Amanda (Lewis) Ryan, 46, passed away suddenly on February 18, 2026.

Born in Lucedale, Mississippi, she is the daughter of Virgil L. Lewis and the late Robbie M. Stone. Raised and educated in Mississippi, Leslie’s sense of adventure led her to call many places home throughout the years. In 2019, residing in Minnesota, Leslie met her future husband, Jason Ryan, while attending church. The couple quickly fell in love and were wed on April 29, 2023. After relocating to New Hampshire, she continued to work remotely for Minnesota based Amivie Custom Care. During her many years with the company, her compassionate heart was felt by countless colleagues and clients.

A dedicated wife, mother, stepmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Leslie’s family was paramount in her life. Known for her secret recipes, Leslie demonstrated her love for others through her phenomenal cooking. Leslie’s dishes were truly works of art! Leslie’s artistic talents extended to all aspects of her life. During her children’s youth, Leslie shared her love of crafting and scrapbooking. Together, they decorated page after page with family pictures, colored and patterned paper, and stickers. Leslie made each page extra special with her beautiful cursive handwriting. In recent years, she enjoyed the thrill of riding her Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail, alongside Jason. The pair enjoyed touring through the winding roads of New Hampshire, relishing the cool breeze, discovering traditional covered bridges and soaking up the stunning scenery. They loved to find a hidden trail for scenic hikes, with special memories of Arethusa Falls, Hart’s Location, NH and Arrowhead Region of Superior National Forest, Minnesota. Affectionately known as a “Badass”, Leslie was always there for her family, friends and colleagues. Leslie will be best remembered for her strong work ethic, adventurous spirit, and, above all, love of family.

Leslie is survived by her husband, Jason Ryan; two daughters, Maecy Shahab of Wisconsin and Sara Moll of Minnesota; two sons, Logan Shahab of Minnesota and Jeffery Moll of California; four step children, Benjamin Robinson, Jonah Gervais, Megan Ryan, and Gabrielle Ryan; three siblings, Lamar Lewis, Stephen Pursell, and Paul Stone; aunt, Vickie Henderson; niece, Breanna Burke, with whom she shared a special friendship; several nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.
