Mary Ferrella Leonette, age 95, of Stonewood, WV, passed away on Sunday, April 2, 2017 at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, WV, following a brief illness.

 

She was born in Wyatt, WV, on October 9, 1921, a daughter of the late Samuel Thomas Ferrella and Rose Gallo Ferrella.

 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Augustine Joseph Leonette and one son, Joseph Anthony Leonette; as well as several brothers and sisters.

 

Mrs. Leonette is survived by three daughters, Mary Catherine Leonette-Jones of Bristol, WV, Martha Leonette Newell and husband Les of Alexandria, VA, Rebecca Leonette and companion William Minnocci of Stonewood, WV; and one son, James Thomas Leonette and wife Linda of Bridgeport, WV. Also surviving are seven grandchildren, Ann Leonette Oxley and husband Scott, James W. Leonette and wife Natalie, TJ Leonette and wife Amy, Shannon Jones, Bryon Jones, Karen Jones Corder and husband Thad, and Dianna Jones Fletcher and husband William; eleven grandchildren, six great great grandchildren; one sister, Virginia Ferrella DeFazio and husband Frank of Stonewood, WV; as well as several nieces and nephews.

 

She was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church of Stonewood, WV.

 

Mary was a strong woman and a person of faith. She would say how blessed she was to have enough food, clothing, warmth, and a wonderful family.  Holidays were always celebrated with her home baked holiday traditions.  She enjoyed watching tennis matches and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball.  She could often be found on her patio, sitting on her swing or chair, in the sun.  Many people would stop and visit. She was always ready to sit and talk a while.  Being a dedicated daughter, sibling, wife and mother, she selflessly spent her entire life in the role of caregiver.

 

Gone from us is a symbol of strength, love and the utmost dedication to family.
