Earl R. Leggett, 80, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully, Wednesday, January 23, 2019 at Orchard Villa. He was born in Toledo, Ohio on March 16, 1938 to Raymond and Violet (Ball) Leggett. Earl graduated from Waite High School and served in the United States Army and would later work at St. Vincent's Hospital for 44 years before retiring in 2001. He enjoyed listening to all types of music and loved playing the keyboard. He had a passion for painting, photography, enjoyed being outside in nature, fishing and going to different parks with his beloved wife, Anna Marie (Palombi) whom he married on June 22, 1968. In their earlier years they would enjoy going out dancing together with their friends. Earl had a way with words and a certain charisma about him, always knowing how to put a smile on someone's face. He was always the jokester in the room and it was hard telling if he was being serious or not. Earl had a love for the Ohio State Buckeyes, but what he cherished most in life was his loving family who will miss him dearly.
Earl is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Anna Marie; daughters, Dawn (Randy) Saint. John, Marisa (Stephen) Troesken; granddaughters, Scerina, Angeleena; grandsons, Draven Troesken, Jordan (Ashley) Saint John; great-grandchildren, Finn, Jack and Ava Saint John; brother, Robbie (Carol) Steele; sister, Melody Lugabil and Betty Dobrowsky; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Terry Steele, brothers-in-law, Tom Dobrowsky, Don Lugabil; and sister, Linda McVicker.
The family will receive friends at the Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home, Oregon Chapel, 440 S. Coy Road on Sunday, January 27, 2019 Noon-6:00 pm with sharing of memories at 4:00 pm. Expressions of sympathy in Earl's name may be directed to the Leggett Family.
