Lesli was born and raised in Central Pennsylvania. She graduated from Penn State University and later from West Virginia University. She spent eight years in the US Navy working as a Family Medicine physician in Florida and Virginia. She and her husband, Jonathan, moved back “home” to West Virginia in 2016.
Lesli has three children, Allie, Erin, and Wesley. She and her family are members of
Buffalo Church of the Nazarene. There Lesli is actively involved in the Backpack Snack
Ministry, Ladies’ Discipleship Ministries, and teaching Sunday School at the local
personal care home. The Carney family loves attending camp meetings, doing DIY projects around the house, playing board games, and watching their kids play volleyball, soccer, and basketball.
Lesli loves Jesus and loves to see people grow in their relationship with Him. She is
thrilled to be able to serve the Hurricane First family in her role as the Church Office Administrator.
