There was a private burial at Calvary Hill Catholic Cemetery in Dallas. Mrs. Montanio died Thursday, November 4, 1999, in her home. She had been a Burleson resident for 27 years. She was born January 31, 1916, in Cuero, Texas to Samuel Ernest Likins and Edna Virilla Moses. She was married to Paul Montanio on July 30, 1935, in Waxahachie. She loved her family and her church, and she devoted her entire life to both. An excellent seamstress, she sewed for everyone in the family and for the church. The vestments, altar and baptismal pieces were not only beautiful, but made with the love she had for her church. Mrs. Montanio served on several committees at her church, was a former member of the PTA, Lions Club, Altar Society and Daughters of St. Ann's. Mrs. Montanio is preceded in death by her father in 1934, her mother in 1981; and her brother, Otis Kelton in 1981. She is survived by her devoted husband, Paul; her son, Dr. Louis Montanio of Dallas; her daughter, Sandina Bowden of Burleson; sister, Ernestine Sexton of DeSoto; three grandchildren, Rocky Montanio, Angel Meredith and Bryan Bowden; three great-grandchildren, Sean and Kevin Meredith and Dylan Bowden; and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins. She was loved, and she will be missed. The family expresses their utmost thanks to Dr. Robert Shaw, Nurses Group Home Health Services, and Vitas Hospice Healthcare of Johnson County, Cindy Black, Peggy Valcik and Becky Boone, and the many friends who gave Leona their loving professional care over the past six years. The family has requested that memorials be made to St. Matthew Church Youth Fund, 380 NW Tarrant Avenue, Burleson, Tx 76028. Guardian Funeral Home of Fort Worth handled the arrangements.
