Mary Ellen Leonard

On Wednesday November 13th 2019 Mary Ellen Leonard of Madison, Wisconsin left her earthly mission to begin her Heavenly journey with the Lord along with loved ones who have passed before.

Mary was born November 28, 1947, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, the daughter of Francis and Mary Leonard.

Mary graduated from St. Mary's Springs High School in Fond du Lac and went on to receive her masters in dietetics from Stout in Menomonie. With this degree Mary worked in Madison, Sauk City and most recently as a floor secretary at St. Mary's Hospital in Madison.

Mary was very proud of her Irish heritage, music, Mary was an avid fan of Wisconsin sports. Throughout the years Mary cherished visits from her nieces/nephews and grand nieces/nephews. These visits would often entail adventures such as kayaking, go kart racing, fishing, dancing and trips to the Dells. Mary was also known for her world famous fluffy cookies, her big hair that took hours to do, a love of pink and purple floral patterns and a laugh that if you heard once you would never forget. What really meant the most to Mary was her family and friends and a strong sense of her religious faith and what waited for her after her life on earth was finished.

Mary is survived by her niece Anne Leonard of New Ulm, MN, nephew Paul, wife Jenn and children Jamie and Sarah Leonard of Mankato, MN and nephew Joseph and children Patrick, Megan, Antony, Connor Leonard and a sister-in-law Mary of New Ulm, MN.

Mary was preceded in death by her twin brother Michael, mother Mary, father Francis and dear friend Donald McDermott.

Blessed be her memory.
