Leoni Wilkinson
Leoni (Schoelzel) Wilkinson, 82
Leoni (Schoelzel) Wilkinson, 82, of Post Falls, Idaho, passed away Jan. 2, 2017, at Kootenai Health in Coeur d’Alene. She was born on April 15, 1934, in Mittel-Faulbrueck, Germany, to Herbert Schoelzel and Helene Jelsch. She was one of six children (one son and five daughters).
She married John Wilkinson on Sept. 6, 1961, in Germany. They then moved to the United States. Their final home was in Post Falls, where they moved in 2001. She touched the hearts of many by her thoughtfulness in remembering her neighbors and the nurses in her doctor’s office, at Christmastime and birthdays, by sharing her handicrafts, such as crocheted embossed hand towels and knitted or crocheted blankets.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Manferd; and her two sisters, Herta and Barbara.
She is survived by her son, Frank (Jeanette) of Eagle River, Alaska; grandsons Cory and Brian of Palmer, Alaska; and sisters Eleanor Moore of Marysville, Wash., and Anita Heusner of Germany.
She was placed to rest with her husband, John, on Jan. 6, 2017, at the Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake, Wash.
