Leona F. Christianson
Leona F. Christianson, age 94, a longtime Valders resident, died peacefully early Monday morning, May 11, 2015 surrounded by her loving family at Holy Family Memorial Medical Center, Manitowoc.
Leona was born on November 30, 1920 in the Town of Cato, daughter of the late Frank and Anna (Kohlnhofer) Denk. On February 10, 1945 she married Leroy Christianson at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Clarks Mills. He preceded her in death on August 18, 2003. She worked hand in hand with her husband Leroy on the home farm. From an early age she worked for the Sister's Convent at St. Mary's Church, Clarks Mills, and continued to be a dedicated member of the parish. Leona was also a member of the Marion Council at her church and a former member of the Riverview Homemakers. She was a beautiful, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who said many Rosaries for each and every one of us.
