Obituary for Leone Marion Alden
Leone Alden of Frederic died November, 13, 2008 at the Frederic Care Center. She was 88 years old. Leone was born April 13, 1920, at Frederic, the fourth of six children born to Victor and Cecelia Streed. She graduated from Frederic High School in 1937. As she wrote in her own words, “I think probably I am the only one of our class whose address has been Frederic my entire life.” She married the love of her life Raymond Alden on December 18, 1937, and together they built the farm on which they lived until she moved to town. She was an active member of the Good Cheer Club, St. Luke Methodist’s Women’s Group and the Women of the Moose. She also volunteered at the Frederic Library and Frederic Care Center. She enjoyed an active life on the farm, watching wildlife, baking, knitting, crocheting, puzzles, “hitting the casino,” card playing, and reading. Leone was known for her good home cooking and hospitality. Her life philosophy was summed up in her writing, “For the most part, my life has been good to me. The good times have far outnumbered the bad, so I can’t complain. Ray and I enjoyed 53 years together for which I am eternally grateful.” She is survived by daughter Judy and husband Ray Domagala of Clam Falls, son Leon and wife Kathy Alden of Amery, and daughter Bonnie and husband Dan Mattson of Marshfield; grandchildren Robin (Greg) Severson, Scott Domagala, Brad (Paula) Domagala, Patrick (Jenny) Alden, Deborah (Lawrence) Alden-Abrahamson, Jamie Minnick, Greg Alden, Lisa (Sam) Corgard, Sean (Nichole) Alden, Nicole (Brian) Kohls, Sara (M.Bubba) Mattson-Blume; great-grandchildren Lindsey and Brady Severson, Lauren and Lexi Domagala, Sydney and Tessa Domagala, Stephanie (Danny) Hunter, Matthew Alden, Gabriel Minnick, Adam and Rachael Connolly, Rebecca and Mitchell Alden, Alisa and Orion Corgard, Ava, Mia, and Ethan Alden, Nathan and Timothy Kohls; sisters Kathleen Alden, Myrtle (Floyd) Melander; brother Douglas Streed; sisters-in-laws Gwen Alden and Evelyn Alden; and nieces and nephews.
