Obituary

Albert Scott Leslie, also known as Al to most and Papa Al to his family, age 82, of Palo Verde, AZ, passed away on Monday, November 14, 2022. Albert was born on November 1, 1940 in Tulare,CA to Charles and Carol Leslie. Al’s family eventually settled in Arizona where he lived most of his life.

He is survived by his wife, Sandra Leslie; daughter Joyclyn White, her husband George White; daughter Deborah McDonald, and her husband Lou McDonald; son-in-law Mark Penny; daughter Kelli Aja, her husband Roy Aja; daughter Katherine DuPont; daughter Kristine Palmisano, her spouse Chris Milner; son Kiley Sanders, his spouse Daniel Girard, and many loving grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his first wife, Dorothy Leslie; daughter Patricia Penny; brother Tom Leslie; and grandson Phillip Aja.

Serving others and his community were hallmarks of Al’s legacy. Al was gifted in many trades, such as woodworking, construction and mechanics and enjoyed sharing those gifts generously with family and friends. As a member of the Scottish Rite of the Freemasonry, and the Phoenix ATV / UTV Club, he found opportunities to fulfill that servant’s heart and benevolent nature. Never sitting still, Al’s eagerness to serve touched many.

Services will be held at the Louis B. Hazelton Cemetery at 23100 W Broadway Rd, Buckeye, AZ, on Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 11am.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to either Hospice of The Valley or the Ivy Brain Tumor Center in honor of Albert Scott Leslie. These two organizations hold a special meaning to the family for their help to Al and our desire to see others benefit from their service.
