Leona Bock Obituary

Visit the John L. Ziegenhein & Sons Funeral Home - South City Chapel website to view the full obituary.

Leona (Cramer) Bock, 78, passed away on December 18, 2025, due to a heart condition.

She leaves her daughter Pamela (Bock) Nowak; her grandchildren Kathryne (Nowak) Lewis, and Andrew Nowak; her great grandchildren Bently Lewis, and Barret Lewis.

She joins her husband, the late Donald Bock, as well as her siblings, Edward, Mildred, Harold, Margaret, Arthur, Rose, Raymond, Donald, and Robert in death.

She was raised by her grandparents in Saint Louis, where she stayed throughout her life raising her family there as well.

She spent her earlier years working making maps and attempted many times to teach her grandchildren how to read one as well. Google Maps won that endeavor.

In retirement she enjoyed her role as grandmother and great grandmother. She spent her days assisting in afterschool care, and attending every sporting, school, and theater event she could for both her grandchildren and, later in life, her great grandchildren. She will be remembered as a woman who was always there for her people. A great grandmother who loved to laugh with them, learn with them, and snuggle up to watch a movie.

She will be memorialized in a private ceremony and buried at Jefferson Barracks with her late husband.
