Leslie Jean Tackleson was born Sept. 9, 1948, in Muscatine, Iowa, to Lester and Madeline Hinbaugh. Her mother and father loved music and nature, which shaped her love for travel and the arts.

Leslie graduated from Muscatine High School in 1966. While in high school, Leslie was in choir and enjoyed playing the tenor saxophone. She continued her education and love of music at Muscatine Community College. On June 1, 1974, Leslie married Jon “Scott” Tackleson in Aldersgate Chapel in Burlington, Iowa. They had a beautiful life together where they were able to enjoy music, games, dances, and make friends all over the United States for the 48 years they were married.

She held various jobs throughout her career, but worked at PMX Industries as a Payroll Supervisor for 24 years until her retirement in 2013.

Leslie enjoyed puzzles, a variety of games, and socializing with those she held dear. She was the life of the party and loved to have a good time and lit up the room like no one else could.

Instead of flowers, memorials may be given in her honor to Last Hope Animal Rescue or your favorite charity.
