Springfield, VT--We are very sorry to report that the jewelry industry has lost one of its finest citizens. Leslie Von Bargen of Von Bargen's Jewelry, passed away last night. An obituary will be published in this week's newsletter on Thursday morning.

The Von Bargen family posted this message on Leslie's Caring Bridge page, including details of the service in Springfield on Saturday, July 14:

Hello all,
We write to you with incredible sadness & grief that Leslie passed away last night. Given the circumstances she faced, it was the right time for her. We are relieved that she no longer has to struggle - she was such a fighter and put every last bit of energy into living.

We were fortunate to have had time with her, all together, to let her know how much she was loved & how much she would be missed.

We now face the next step in our family's journey - dealing with the immense void and loss of not having Leslie's amazing presence among us. We, like she, will certainly rely on the support and love of our family friends. So thank you in advance for that.

Leslie's service will be this Saturday at 1pm at the Congregational Church in Springfield, VT. There will be a reception to follow at the Von Bargen's home. All are welcome to attend.

Thank you for all of your love, caring & support for Leslie and for us. It certainly gave us all strength and gave her even more drive in her fight to beat this awful cancer.

We love Leslie so much & will miss her so intensely.

Team Victory
