LEONA P. HEWITT

Leona P. Hewitt, 93, passed away Friday, February 1, 2008, at the Charlotte Stephenson Manor. Don’t let her age fool you. Until recently, she remained vital and open to this life, despite her desire to be at home with her Savior. She was born in Adrian on December 22, 1914 to Floyd and Vera Brown. On April 3, 1941, she married Thomas Lynn Hewitt who preceded her in death on February15, 1985.

Our mother and grandmother’s outgoing personality and love for the Lord drew her to be an active member of the Weston Methodist Church, the Weston Women’s Club and the Eastern Star. For years her grandchildren played with the spoils of her rock hunting hobby.

Leona is survived by son, Richard and his wife, Sherrie of Morenci; two daughters, Carol DeLong of Jasper and Sally and husband, Skip Sharp of Brooklyn; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren and a brother, Irving of Lake Placid, FL.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by three sisters, four brothers, a granddaughter and a great-grandson. She was buried at Weston Cemetery. A memorial service has been planned to celebrate the playful, genuine and wonderful lady she was. The service will be held on February 17, 2008, at the Weston Methodist Church at 10:30 a.m. with a luncheon following.
