Levonne L. Gantt

GANTT Levonne L. Levonne L. Gantt, 67, of Point Place died unexpectedly along with her closest of friends on Sunday, October 11, 2009, in Barnsdall, Oklahoma. She was born in Toledo, Ohio to Lambert H. and Frieda A. (Draheim) Fink in 1942. Levonne was a loving, generous, and strong willed woman who gave her time and attention to all who loved and needed her. She was a selfless and determined woman who set her standards high and lived up to her reputation. She was involved in various organizations, such as: Eastern Star Toledo Chapter #341 serving as Associate Conductress, True Kindred serving as Supreme Chaplain, Amaranth - DSRM serving as past Grand Royal Matron in 1986 to 1987. She worked for 30 years at Rossford High School as the Head Cook retiring this year. Levonne cherished traveling with her dear friends: Chris Fulghum, Martha Jacobs, and Norma Ottersetter; you never knew where they would end up or when they would take off. Levonne could be found relaxing with her nose in a "good book." But more than all the trips, novels, and organizations, her truest love and devotion was to her grandchildren, Aaron and Jordan. In these past few years Levonne developed a deep connection with her only granddaughter, moments and memories that will forever be embedded in our minds. You never saw Levonne without her most precious and valuable piece of jewelry, her "special grandmother" necklace. Those who are left to carry on this awe-inspiring legacy of Levonne are her children, Debra (William) Duseberg, John (Teri) Weaver II, and Rebecca (Robert) Orwig, and her most beloved grand-children, Aaron Gross and Jordan Orwig, and treasured great-grandson, Aaron Mikeal Gross. Levonne was reunited with her parents, and her husbands, John I. Weaver Sr. and Benjamin Gantt. Visitation will be held on Friday, October 16, 2009, from 2-8 p.m. at David R. Jasin-Hoening Funeral Home, 5300 N. Summit St. (419. 726.1583). True Kindred service will be conducted in the funeral home on Friday evening at 7 p.m. followed by Amaranth service. Funeral Services will begin at the funeral home on Saturday, October 17, 2009, at 11 a.m. with Pastor David Rushton officiating. Interment will be at Ottawa Hills Memorial Park.
