Lovingly remembered by her children, Michael (Cathy) Corbett, Laura (Peter, predeceased 2022) Deckert, Lisa (Karl) Schlenz and Bartholomew “Bart” (Leah) Saunders (Nancy, predeceased 2021). As well as her “bonus children” Robert Doucette, Marcia Doucette and Michelle McIntyre Doucette - Momma Leone as they lovingly called her.

She leaves behind many nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends who are richer for having known her. Leone’s strength was an inspiration to us all, and she will be never forgotten. 

A very special thank you to Leandra and Peter Hryciw for lovingly helping her daughter Lisa in caring for her, the past 8 years since she moved up to Angus, Ontario. As well as her PSW Christy Daniels. And to Valerie Hryciw, for being a special friend, a euchre, bingo, glass of wine, buddy to her. In keeping with Leone’s wishes,

 cremation has taken place. A grave site service and Celebration of life will be held at a later date.
