Leslie Gale Waters

November 15, 1952 — September 20, 2024

South Weber

Leslie Gale Carrel Waters, 71, passed away on Friday September 20, 2024, after a 7-year battle with Alzheimer's.

She was born in Tacoma, Washington on November 15, 1952, to Elton “Jeff)” and Lavon “Bonnie” Gale Carrel. She grew up in an Air Force family and lived all over the United States and in Germany. They returned to Utah for her senior year of high school, where she graduated from Layton High in 1972. She continued her education at Weber State College, graduating with a bachelor's degree in history and a teaching certificate.

Leslie joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 21 years old. While attending the Weber State College Ward she met Dennis Lee Waters, "the love of her life" according to Dennis, it didn't hurt that he drove a Porsche and was building a house. They were married on July 16, 1975, in the Ogden Utah Temple, and have been married for 49 years.

For their married life they resided in South Weber, Utah. They were blessed with four children. During her battle with Alzheimer's. Dennis was by her side each step of the way, caring for her with love. Leslie served in many roles within the church including Relief Society President, Young Women President, and numerous other callings. Even after her memory declined, she would always remember the "fun" of girl's camps, or the lack of her enjoyment at girl's camps!!!

When Dennis started his own business Leslie was instrumental in its success. She was able to talk to anyone, and everyone was her friend. After Dennis retired, many of you will remember seeing Leslie in her reflective coats as she worked as a crossing guard for South Weber.

She enjoyed sewing, quilting, gardening, reading, walking and traveling. During their travels, Dennis and Leslie enjoyed the journey more than the destination as they traveled cross country in their minivan. She made it to all 50 US States and enjoyed visiting National Parks and historic sites.

Leslie is survived by her husband Dennis, of South Weber, Utah; children, Amber

Waters, Becky Waters, Chris (Melissa) Waters, and Denise (Ian) Orton; six grandchildren, Jack, Lincoln, Finn, Ashton, Reese, and Mya.

The family would like to thank Aspen Ridge Home Health and Hospice, the staff at Pine View Transitional Rehab, and Lydia Turner for their compassionate care in her last days.
