Leone J. Overton

In Loving Memory of Leone Josephine Overton (1942–2025) Leone, “Lou / Leony /, Nana”, a devoted wife, mother, nana, and friend, passed away peacefully in her home on April 18, 2025 surrounded by her loved ones. Born in Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, Leone brought joy to everyone around her with her warm smile and kind heart.

Leone dedicated her life to caring for her loved ones, spending over 58 years as a loving wife to her husband John and raising and caring for her 3 children, (Michelle, John and Matt), and 4 grandchildren, (Joshua, Jacob, Brady and Danny), and many grand-pets. She was known for her compassion, patience, and love.  An avid Tennis player and Golfer.  She enjoyed spending her time listening to her favorite singer Tony Bennet.

She is Predeceased by Her Parents, Carmel and Arthur Pike, her sisters Sylvia Beaton and Alma Cheney, and is survived by her beloved husband, John, children, Michelle, Matt, John and his wife Christine; her grandchildren, Josh, Jacob, Brady, Danny; her sister Carolyn Godfrey, brother Arthur Pike and many nephews, nieces and friends.  She will be remembered for her selflessness, and unwavering love and support for her family.  Many would aptly describe her as the “Worried Warrior”! And will always be remembered for saying all she wanted is for “Everyone To Be Happy”.
