You were all very lucky to have a caring mother who lived such a long time. I have not seen her in many years, but I remember Leona as a smiling good natured woman who loved her family first. Bless all of you at this time .  Robin Alexander

It's taken me a while to add my message.  What can you say when your mother passes away?  I have all the memories a mother shares with a daughter and the rest of the family.  She was always there to defend each and everyone of us - even when we weren't right!  She will be in our hearts forever and with my father forever now too.  Goodbye Mom.

Though this is a time of sadness, I am truly happy that you are with Grandpa George again. For 22 years, I was lucky enough to be able to call you Grandma. My favorite memory would have to be the time we all went to the mall together, and you thought you were stuck in the car, but really your seat belt was still on! I loved your sense of humor and I am happy to know that you and Grandpa will always be watching over us from  now on. I love you Grandma and Grandpa.

I know that you're with grandpa now and that makes me happy. You'll be watching over me everyday and I hope I can make you proud. I'll never forget the huge kisses you would give me on the cheek every time I saw you. You were such a great woman and you were always so happy. I love you grandma

I am truly going to miss Leona. She accepted me right away as a part of the family. I saw where Dale got his wonderful, thoughtful and loving spirit. It was from his Mom and Dad. Everything he told me about her was no exaggeration. Leona truly was an amazing, loving and thoughtful woman and she loved her family with all her heart. The time Dale and I spent with her the weekend before she made her way to heaven to be with her husband will forever remain in my memory and my heart. I feel blessed to have had her in my life even though it was a short time.I will treasure all the time we spent together. She can rest in peace knowing that she does not have to worry about Dale. I will take care of him and love him forever. I love you and miss you, Gail

I wish I could find the words that would adequately  describe my mother.  She was always there for her children,  her husband and her friends.   She was the strong one when my father was falling ill. The last couple of months  were tough.  It was my honor and privilege  to help and try to make her last days on earth as comfortable as possible.  I would do it all over again if I had the chance.  I love my mom dearly  and I miss her so much already.  Mom and  Dad forever together in heaven

My dear sweet Aunt Leona! What an amazing woman she was. Loved seeing her and Uncle George on our visits to Las Vegas while my dad was still alive. We had great meals at the casinos and of course plenty of laughs. I am so very sorry to my dear cousins Glen, Mark, Dale and Colleen. I know she will be sorely missed. I haven't seen her in awhile but my memories are vivid, even from long ago as a kid growing up and celebrating the various holidays with her and our families. Now she can go be with Uncle George and Grama! Keep a watch on us all Aunt Leona! Love you! Sandy Vansteenkiste Venman

Words cannot describe what she meant to me.  If there is a definition of the word Saint while on earth, My mother, Leona Charrette, would get the role.  She was simply the best mother, friend, relative, and wife to my dear Father, George Charrette.  She always had a smile on her face, a kind word for anyone, always willing to help anyone.  She loved her family and nothing was more important to her than that.  I had a front row seat for 58 years to experience the love, devotion and motherly wisdom and her legacy lives through me, as many of my personality traits have a direct connection to my mother and father.  She will be forever missed, and forever loved, and words simply cant explain my grief and loss.  I love you MOM, and I will see you again someday and we will pick up where we left off.  I love you and miss you.

Dale Charrette

Grandma will truly be missed. She was a wonderful person.

All my love to Glenn,Mark,Dale and Colleen and all your families.Sympathy and prayers to all of you.
