To LeEtta's family,My deepest sympathy upon your great loss. I worked with LeEtta thru the '70s-80s at IP. When I started there shortly after high school, she passed on to me her immeasurable wisdom not only with work experience but childbearing and childrearing. I remember when a coworker was having a difficult time raising two children alone and had little extra for work clothing, Lee brought in some of her older (she said) clothing and wouldn't take a penny. What a friendly, warm, genuine, and caring person, and I know she will be missed greatly.My condolences,Sheryl Niles Murray

Jack and Letta's Family.I am sorry for your lost. LeEtta was a classmate for 12 years in Lovington. I also lost my wife to cancer just over a year ago, so I know what you are experiencing. With your family support you will make it day by day.Bob Kruger, Lilburn, GA.

Jack and Family – I am so very sorry for your loss of LeEtta. As a young engineer at Illinois Power, my first job away from "home", LeEtta was one person that made me feel like I had family in Decatur. She always took care of we young ones and she would make sure we looked presentable for "big" meetings and tell us if she thought we was off-base in our comments or that we should or shouldn't do something. What a great business mentor she was. She was so very kind to me and for that I am eternally grateful. I see her picture here and remember her eyes, her very kind eyes, and her laughter. LeEtta loved you all so very very much. It was evident in all of the stories we heard of the whole family over the years. Always remember that.Our Deepest Sympathy on her passing.– Debbie and Paul Furman

LeEtta was the first person I knew at IP. She was then, and always has been a very good friend. I am very sorry for your loss, and regret we won't be able to attend the service as we will be out of town. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. Take care and God Bless.
