Albert Joseph Faunce, 82, of Covington, Louisiana, passed away on August 27, 2026.

Albert proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, where he was wounded in combat and awarded the Purple Heart. Following his military service, he worked as a machinist at Avondale Shipyard. A loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, he was affectionately known as “Paw Paw Al.”

Albert grew up in Aruba and loved sharing stories of his childhood there. He enjoyed gardening, cooking, carpentry, MUFON, and, most of all, spending time with his grandchildren. His stories, interests, and love for life were all part of what made him uniquely Paw Paw Al.

Albert was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jaqueline Hamburg-Faunce; his parents, Sidney and Annie Faunce; and his siblings, Sidney Faunce, Richard Faunce, and Marjorie Faunce.

He is survived by his sister, Patricia Faunce Dolbear; his children, Jeffrey Lindelow, Larry Lindelow, and Craig Lindelow; his grandchildren, Paige Lindelow, Jordan Lindelow, Emily Lindelow, Megan Lindelow, Katie Dickens, Rachel Schulingkamp, Christy Kendrick, and Ashley McCarrick; twelve great-grandchildren; and fourteen nieces and nephews.

Albert will be remembered for his happiness, playful spirit, goofy sense of humor, and the love and laughter he brought to those around him. Paw Paw Al will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Albert will be laid to rest with military honors at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery in Slidell, Louisiana. A private committal service and family gathering will be held in his honor.
