Ethelyn loved God and her family above all else. She led her family by love, acceptance and forgiveness, always welcoming everyone, and cooking and baking--especially her beloved lemon meringue and cream pies--for all of the family and friends' gatherings. She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church for over seventy years and a member of Esther Circle. Ethelyn was a devoted member of the Facire Club, the Leonhardt family club of almost a century.

A private graveside service at Glen Rest Memorial Estate for immediate family will be held due to the current pandemic. Contributions may be made in her memory to Trinity Lutheran Church; 404 S. Third St. Columbus, OH 43215.
