Lesley grew up in Winnipeg, active in sports throughout her school years, being named Athlete of the Year while attending Vincent Massey High School. She married John McCall Jr. in the year 1972. Their daughter Megan was born 1975 and son Lindsey 1976. The family business took them to Fairbanks, Alaska for several years during their early years of marriage. Lesley and John maintained a home in Fort Garry and were happy to return when the work was completed in Alaska. In recent years Lesley established an additional family home in Calgary. Her two children are employed in that city. Lesley also found employment there and made her usual contribution to the family well being.
