Lester Conley, age 76, went into the arms of his Savior on Sept. 15, 2025, surrounded by family.
Lester was born to Robie and Myrtle Conley on July 31, 1949, in Oil Springs, Ky. On June 28, 1969, he married the love of his life, Angel Lee Wright, in Warsaw. They shared 56 years together.
Lester worked 47 and a half years at Dalton Foundry in processing. After his retirement, he spent time doing the things he loved, golfing and fishing with friends, his sons and his grandchildren. He worked part-time for his grandson at LC Lawn Services. He loved to joke around and make sure everyone had what they needed.
He celebrated his love for Jesus by attending the Silver Lake Bible Church.

Lester was preceded in death by his father and mother; stepmother, Betty Conley; brothers, Roger and Paul Conley; and a sister, Easter Conley; and many loved brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
The family would like to share their gratitude to Goshen Cancer Center and the ICU team who so lovingly care for him in his final moments.
