Lolleta "Leta" P. Ballinger

LOLLETA "LETA" PAULINE BALLINGER "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" -Psalms 116:15- Was born on May 8, 1921 in Cordell, Oklahoma, and entered the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 26, 2011 in Riverside, CA. Leta was preceded in death by her husband Richard W. Ballinger and her youngest son, Robert "Bob" Ballinger. She is survived by two daughters, Carol Smallwood of Colorado Springs, CO, and Margie Stanley of Moorpark, CA; two sons, Richard Ballinger of Guffy, CO and Steve Ballinger (Sonja) of Riverside, CA; 13 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. She will be remembered as a wonderful mother, an adorable grandmother and great-grandmother (gg). This sweet and beautiful lady was loved by all and will be missed by all who knew her. As a Christian we never say "Good-bye" to one another. We simply say, "See you later." What a glorious day that will be.
