Leslie Patricia Grant
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Leslie Patricia Grant on October 21, 2020 at the age of 71. She passed peacefully at home after a brief, but courageous battle with brain cancer. Leslie will be remembered by her husband Arden, sons Ben (Amber) and David (Alexandra), sisters Sheila, Mary, and Carrie (Jeff), nieces Emily and Sarah, nephew Evan, and many cousins and extended family in Winnipeg.
She will be remembered for her adventurous spirit and her big smile. She was known for being supportive, encouraging, and living a life full of laughter. She had a big heart and was a helpful soul, always willing to offer sage advice, whether requested or not. She was a devoted mother to her sons and dogs. In retirement she loved traveling around North America with Arden and their dog Duke, making friends and exploring new places.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, October 31 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at Trinity Funeral Home, 10530 116 Street, Edmonton. All are welcome, but we require guests to contact David at dmgrant9@gmail.com to coordinate visit timing due to COVID-19 restrictions.
A private service will follow. We will record the service for those who are unable to attend in person. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Boyle Street Community Services.
Leslie, I was just having a conversation with my girlfriend about my indoor soccer days. I felt like when I think about how I had this neighbourhood extended family, I think about you and your husband and Ben and Dave on those cold winter mornings. Your warm spirit was always appreciated and my mom was a huge fan or your mom energy. Thank you for being a grace on this earth and raising two amazing gentlemen. I hope you’re resting well. Watch over us. You will be missed and never forgotten.
Tiny, Ben and David and surrounding families. I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Les. She was a great friend to all of us, and a dear heart.

David, Ben and family
I am so sorry to read the obituary this morning.
May your mom Rest In Peace.
Sorry, due to Covid and fear of it, I will not attend the viewing. Sending my deepest condolences.
Missing someone isn’t about how long its been since you’ve seen them.
It’s about that very moment when you find yourself doing something and wishing that they were right there by your side. 😢😢
Mary, neighbor from across the street.
So sorry for your loss. The world lost an amazing woman. My mom also wanted to pass along her deepest condolences. Sending love!
So sad to see our Leslie gone. I’ll miss her zany attitude and fun loving spirit, her smile and her laugh. Huge hugs to Tiny, Ben and David. I’m so thankful to have talked to her in September
