Edith Kennedy Leonard, 91, of Easley, wife of the late Oscar L. Leonard, passed away Saturday, July 31, 2010 after a period of declining health.
Mrs. Leonard was born April 3, 1919 in Anderson County, to the late William Newton Kennedy and Lula Hodge Kennedy. She lived at Connie Maxwell Children's Home in Greenwood for four years after the death of her mother and remembered with gratitude her years there.
After their marriage in 1938, the Leonards lived in Greenville, both working for Meador's Candy Company. In 1964 they bought the Auto Motor Court on Highway 123, Easley, and operated it until 1973.

Mrs. Leonard was a member of St. Paul United Methodist Church in Greenville for 42 years and was currently a member of Easley First United Methodist Church. She will be remembered by all who knew her for her kindness and the joy she found in serving her Lord through serving others.
Mrs. Leonard was predeceased by a half-sister, Pauline H. Bowman, of Anderson. She is survived by one nephew, Norman Bowman and one niece, Linda Burdette, both of Anderson and by her beloved neighbors for 21 years, Harold and Nell Whitlock, of Easley.
