LEONA CANTALINI

LEONA CANTALINI August 7, 2023 Leona Cantalini peacefully passed away at the Good Samaritan Society in Medicine Hat on Monday, August 7, 2023. Leona was born one of 12 children to John and Katherine Hannas. As a young lady age 14, she left home and moved to the Edmonton area to help care for her sister’s children. She was always so dependable and helping family came naturally to her. Leona later gained employment as a front desk receptionist in the hotel business at Sexsmith. She proved to be a very responsible employee with a keen eye to detail. Leona met and married George Cantalini and their marriage was blessed with the birth of their son, Tony. They made Medicine Hat their home where she continued to work in the hotel business alongside her husband. She had a zest for life and enjoyed to go for long walks, golf and curl. Leona was a sweet lady who had a smile that would light up the room! She was a caring, wonderful lady who will be deeply missed by her friends and family. Leona will be remembered by her nephew, Jerry (Helena) Green of Creston, B.C. She was heartbroken with the loss of her dear son, Tony in 2006; husband, George in 1962, and her parents. In honour of Leona’s life, a Graveside Committal Service will be held in the Cantalini family plot at Hillside Cemetery on Thursday, August 24, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. Those wishing to attend may join the funeral procession which will depart Cook Southland Funeral Chapel at 12:45 p.m. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting www.cooksouthland.com) Honoured to serve the family is
