Lester “Les” Herrington, 61 of Aliquippa, a man known for his velvety voice and generous heart, passed away on December 11th, 2024, at the Good Samaritan Hospice in Wexford. He was born in New Brighton, a son of the late Albert and Justine Herrington. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Alberta Herrington and brothers, William and Robert Herrington and Eugene Garrett, Sr. He is survived by his beloved wife, Maureen, his brother, Jeffrey Herrington; his sister, Elaine Johnson; his stepsons, Joseph (Nicole) Morelli and Jeffrey Morelli; as well as his dear friend, Doug Jennings, and family friend, Beth Hornyak.

Lester was a 1981 graduate of Beaver Falls High School and furthered his education by earning an associate degree from the Community College of Beaver County, which served as a stepping stone to helping others. Les was united in marriage to Maureen L. Morelli Herrington on May 6, 2017, and together they shared a bond of love, laughter, and mutual respect.

For many years, Les was a nursery teacher at the Beaver Falls Salvation Army, where he nurtured countless young minds with kindness and patience. His dedication to service extended beyond the classroom as he operated the organization’s food bank, ensuring those in need received not just sustenance but also a warm smile and an understanding ear.

His talents were many, but it was his beautiful, velvety voice that often stole the show. An avid singer, he delighted in performing Rhythm and Blues karaoke. When not sharing his musical gifts, Lester could be found on the golf course or by the water, fishing rod in hand.

Friends will be received on Sunday, December 15th from 1-3 p.m. and 5 p.m. until the time of service at 7 p.m. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca. Reverend Micharl Sourwine will officiate.
