She has lived all her life in this vicinity. While the last few years, Leona has been in poor health, her whole thought has been for her home and loved ones. Never did she miss an opportunity to do something for others. She was patient in her suffering and tried to make her going easier for her husband and family.
She leaves besides her husband and little son, her parents, one sister, Helen, her grandmother, Mrs. Mary E. Boice, and many loving relatives and friends. A little sister died in infancy.
At an early age she gave her heart to her Saviour and has always had a serene faith in God and a comforting assurance of life beyond the grave.

She resteth now. No more her breast.
Heaves with its weary breath.
Pain sits no longer on the brow
Where lies the clam of death.
Sunk to her rest like tired child
She lies in slumber deep.
Soft folded in the arms of Him
Who giveth His beloved sleep.
Nay, doth she rest? No day or night
She restest not from praise
Her spirit, winged with rapture knows
No more earth’s weary ways.
But ever toward the infinite
Her flight on, upward does she keep
For He gives active tirelessness
Who giveth His beloved sleep.
