Leona Margaret (Coulas) Etmanski

A tiny baby girl, Leona Coulas, entered this world on July 9, 1925 ready to live her life, and 97 years and almost 4 months later a wonderful woman, Leona Etmanski, left this life on October 31, 2022.

During her lifetime she was a precious and beloved older sister to Teresa (Hamilton), Leo, Isaiah and Anthony and sister-in-law to Tom and Marcelle. She was a loving and devoted wife to Edward Etmanski for 55 years, putting up with his playful shenanigans until he passed on June 27, 2008. She was a proud, loving, and caring mother to Daniel and Lynn and a special mother-in-law to Paul Deiulis. 

She loved to spend time with,  and hear updates about her precious grandchildren, Samantha Bolingbroke (Derek), Amanda Froud (Jeremy), Veronica, Victoria Lamothe (Rylee), Vincent Deiulis (Genna) and her great-grandchildren, Nicholas, Paige, Harrison, Cooper, Benjamin, Elloise, Zachary, and Declan. 

She could sew, knit, crochet, or embroider anything. Her playing card strategy was legendary. Her family learned many valuable life skills from her, but mostly to be kind to others, be thankful,  and share what you have, especially your smile. 

If you would like to make one, donations to St. Francis Memorial Hospital, the War Amps, or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
