Obituary for Leslie Ann Templeton

Leslie Ann Templeton (known affectionately as "The Butler's Honey") passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at the age of 62, in Scarborough, Ontario, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born on November 2, 1962, Leslie dedicated her life to love, family, and work. She spent her entire 43-year professional career at Atlas Polar, where her commitment was legendary. She was deeply devoted to the company's success, working tirelessly until the day she was admitted to the hospital.

Leslie was the kindest and most unconditionally loving soul anyone could ever hope to meet. She was a devoted wife and mother whose greatest joys were simple and heartfelt: spending time at the trailer, getting lost in a good book as an avid reader, and showering love on her many beloved dogs.

Leslie is survived by her loving husband, Simon ("The Butler"); her children, Ryan (and his wife, Alex) and Erica; and her sisters, Sharon and Carol. She is predeceased by her beloved parents, Mary and Owen Steele.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Leslie's memory to Sick Children's Hospital.
