— LOUISBURG, N.C. — Leona Kathryn (Bilger) Kendall, 88, of Louisburg Manor, Smoketree Way, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2010.
She was born June 26, 1922, in Weikert, Pa., a daughter of the late Bertha L. and James D. Bilger.
She was a very diligent individual with many skills and interests. Real estate was her main ambition. Throughout her life, she enjoyed traveling, camping and taking lots of photos, but most of all, she loved sharing time with her family and friends. Her heart was touched by corresponding with missionaries in other countries and helping the cause of underprivileged children in Haiti.
Leona will be greatly missed by those she devoted her life to and who dearly loved her.
She is survived by her children, Jackueine K. Adams, Gary A. Stutzman and Jan M. Windsor; her sister, Rose Bilger Wilson; grandchildren, Gary Kyttle Jr., Sherryll Kyttle Nadolny, Richard Pursell, Christy Kay Smith Shiffer, Gail Stutzman Goerisch, Nicole Stutzman, Megan Stutzman, Kelly Deibler Brumbaugh, Melissa Marcy and Rayce Windsor; great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; nieces; and nephews.
We would like to recognize and make mention of a few special people who put forth extra efforts throughout Leona's life: niece, Mrs. Mary Cooper, for all her kindness, love, friendship and support; son-in-law, Gary Kyttle Sr., for always being there for his loved ones; granddaughter, Mrs. Christy Kay Shiffer, who always stepped in with caring love and devotion when needed tremendously; Linda Sue Wilson for her special love for her Aunt Leona; all who knew Leona, friends, maybe someone unknown, and all other family members who loved her dearly. Thanks, from the bottom of our hearts.
Leona will be laid to rest beside her sister, Doris L. Swinehart, in Harmony Cemetery, Milton, Pa., with a graveside service at 2 p.m. Saturday for all the friends and family who would like to attend.
