St. George, UT - LeOnna Rimington Devilbiss, 81, died April 14, 2010 at her home in St. George, Utah. She was born May 22, 1928 in Woodruff, Utah to Gerald Rimington and Leora Boothe. She married her sweetheart, Duayne Lee DeVilbiss, in Santa Ana, California in 1947, and solemnized their vows in the St. George Temple. When she was two years old, her mother died shortly after giving birth to her sister, Leora Maxine. They were taken in by her grandmother, Christina Boothe, who cared for them, along with her own 12 children, until her father married Mildred Campbell in 1936. As a young girl, she lived in several mining camps in the Mojave desert where her father worked until eventually moving to California. She graduated from Whittier High School in 1946. In her young married days, she worked along side her husband in their photography studio. Other jobs throughout her life included office management work and even a time as a hairdresser. But mothering was always Number 1 for Lonnie . She was a mother to many, as her loving heart and compassion for others attests. The framework of her giving heart could be found in her life-long devotion and service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mom was lilacs and petunias with a yard full of animals and a home full of love. She was devoted to her children and to serving. She focused on helping others in their pain despite her own life-long struggle with arthritis. She lived in grace and beauty and embodied sweetness and love. There are no words to describe how much our beautiful mother will be missed. She left behind her husband of 62 years, Lee Devilbiss, daughters: Marci DeVilbiss, Coco DeVilbiss, Duayna Yoast (Eric) and son, John DeVilbiss (Jill). She also has 16 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and two sisters: Maxine Tingey and Sallie Wilkie. Funeral services will be held on Monday, April 19, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at the Morningside LDS Stake Center, 881 South River Rd., St. George, UT. A visitation will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. prior to services at the Stake Center. Internment will be in the St. George City Cemetery.
