Let this page be a wonderful tribute to our loving mum, grandma, sister, friend and partner - the beauty that is Lesley Benson.
Mum had the most generous heart and would literally give away all she could to others who she felt were in more need than her, despite her own challenges. She regularly gave to the homeless so we felt that mum would love it if people continued to spread her kindness in her memory and give to the homeless charity Shelter.
It is heartbreaking to think that she is physically no longer with us after such a long battle with illness for many years. But we know that her spirit, her smile and laugh will continue to be present in each and everyone that she met.
We hope this page allows you all to share your most treasured memories and photos of Lesley, our mum. She enjoyed nothing more than reminiscing about times that made her laugh, so please share with a happy heart your thoughts and stories to help spread her love even wider.
If you are attending the funeral, feel free to wear a little hint of purple - her favourite colour.
Funeral service is on Monday 15th April 2024 at 11:30 am at Our Lady of Lourdes RC Church, Carnforth.
The burial will follow at Carnforth Cemetery.
Family and friends are invited to meet afterwards at The Longlands Hotel, Tewitfield, Carnforth.*

So sorry to hear of Lesley's passing. I have many happy memories of her from my teenage years hanging out with Alice. Lesley was always so warm, friendly and kind. A beautiful person inside and out. I'm sure she will be very much missed x x x
RIP Lesley 💜
We love you Aunty Lesley, whilst we miss you, enjoy playing cards with gran and grandad until we see you again in heaven ❤️🙏🏼
