To all of Lona's family, I loved this lady, and she was a true lady. I knew her from church, but also from meals on wheels. She and I had some very good conversations, and she was so proud to show me her Christmas decorations. She will be missed but I have no doubt she is in heaven with her Lord and family. They were all there to greet her. Our sympathy, Pam and Dwight Dove

My Dear Great Aunt Lona, you will missed. As a little boy, I will always have the fondest memory of you dancing the Charleston on the picnic table at the family reunion and entertaining all the kids...what a lady!

Ms Lona was such a sweet & special lady. She taught me how to take care of my African Violets during my working days at FNB bank in Draper & I still have two of them that she gave me. May God comfort & strengthen the family during this sad time.
