Leona T. (Mahoney) Benoit

So sorry to hear of Aunt Leonas passing. I was just talking to a friend about how inspiring she was to me as an advocate of peace. I have many correspondencs from her thru the years encouraging my work with battered women. She was a great pen pal and inspiring role model. I wish my mum and dad had stayed in touch with her and Uncle Joe. Deepest sympathy sent from Uncle Jim's daughters and family.

Aunt Leona was the most caring and persistent person I've known. Back when it wasn't much accepted for a woman to express a strong opinion, she showed me how to do so with grace and perseverance. I will miss her and her plucky personality. Go forth in love and peace, Leona.

Thank you Aunt Leona for being an inspiration to so many!

Aunt Leona was such an inspiration and I will miss her laugh and warm demeanor and listening to music with her. She was always positive and it was truly a gift to have known her.

Will treasure the memories of "Rosie" and I visiting with you, Bro, and Wayne. Always so positive you were an inspiration and joy to have known. My sincere sympathy to your Family and Friends.

Aunt Leona was our Ambassador for Peace. She was a gem and will be missed by so many people that loved her. Rest in Peace Aunt Leona.

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful lady. We have fond memories of lunches at the Copley with her and Bro. She would say...I am not here to die, just to live the rest of my life! She was a gift to everyone she knew and will be missed.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. One day very soon Ms. Leona will return to the days of her youthful vigor as promised at Job 33:25. Until this beautiful promise is fulfilled by our heavenly Father, may you continue to be comforted by your most precious memories of your loving Aunt.

A special aunt! Loved by so many! Rest in PEACE.

Aunt Leona Rest in Peace and God Bless.
