Hi, this is very interesting.  So she married and had children?  This is great.

Excellent

Found this one in the English newspapers

There are passenger lists some with family on ancestry, also she is as Leslie/Leslie J./Joy when searching

That article certainly sounds like her.   There is quite a lot online about her father Charles Ross Whitehead and his businesses. 

Here is something about her grandfather William James Whitehead

Her father did have a pulp and paper company, but he was well known in the cotton business, founder of Wabasso (it was a well known company here)

It appears she later married a George Andrew Vaughan.

1937 immigration card mentions Leslie Joy Vaughan as formerly Voyinovitch, nee Whitehead
