LeRoy Wayne Carroll, 87, passed away on Thursday, April 7, 2022, at Pine View Manor in Stanberry, Missouri.
He was born on September 3, 1934, in rural Worth County to Ralph and Aloha Carroll. The youngest of four children, he grew up working hard on the farm but still found time to hunt and fish when he could. After graduating high school, LeRoy enlisted in the Army.
On November 6, 1955, he married Madonna Arnold. The couple moved to Kansas City where he worked for Metropolitan Life Insurance and UPS.
In 1968 the family moved to the Stanberry area and LeRoy sold livestock feed for MoorMan’s. After retiring, he operated his own small engine repair shop called West Grand Repair.
Besides being the “lawnmower man,” LeRoy kept busy hunting, fishing, creating miniature haybales at fall festivals, playing poker, growing turnips and vacationing with Madonna. They especially enjoyed making a trip to his ancestral home of Ireland.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Stanberry and the Raymond Sager American Legion Post 260.
