November 6, 1922 - March 13, 2018
Margaret Isabel Yale Lonon, age 95, joined her family in heaven on March 13, 2018. She was born on November 6, 1922 in Oakley, Kansas.
She met Cleo Lonon at the Jordan School house during an old timey fund raiser known as a ''Pie Supper''. She hooked him with her cherry pie and they married in 1941.
Margaret's goal in life was to be a wife and mother to her 4 daughters. She loved to sew, make quilts, bake and work in the garden. She was very active in 4-H, Home Extension Dept. and church activities. She enjoyed riding and showing horses with her husband, raising cattle and worked at Baxter Lab. She also enjoyed giving sage advice, and was mowing her yard until age 94.
Margaret is joining her husband Cleo, parents and siblings Harold, Ray, Vernon and Ethel, and grandchild Allea Allen.
She will be missed by brother Wayne, daughters Carolyn Walker (Harris), Nina Moore (David), Donna Sanford (Gary) and Verna Parker.
She had 8 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 5 great-great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and special friends.
Service and burial will be at Roller Funeral Home on Monday 19th with visitation 10:00 a.m and memorial 11:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the charity of your choice in memory of Margaret I. Lonon.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray you watch over and guide Cleo & Margaret Lonon's four daughters. Cleo was one of the most honest and fair men I've ever known. Honor your father, do not let evil, strife & greed possess your soul. God knows every move you make.
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow REV.21:3,4.
Best Mama Ever💕💕
"Cherry Pie Love" told by Mama on Jan. 2, 1980
A girl friend asked me to go to a pie supper. So I baked my first Cherry Pie and took it to the Jordan School house and it was auctioned off. Cleo must of seen me bring it in and he kept his eye on it all the time. He bought my pie and later a neighbor boy offered him a 10 cent profit, but he said,"That's my property" and came carrying it down the aisle to me. That's how we met.
I really don't think I did too good a job of baking it, but Cleo must of liked it or me.(HA) Years later he said the pie was a little runny.
Over the years Mama baked 100's and 100's of pies & lots of Bunny cakes, but when asked what he wanted, Daddy always said "Cherry Pie"!
Mama, I wish we were all sitting around the kitchen table visiting and waiting for you to pull one more batch of Oatmeal cookies out of the oven.
Love, Donna
