FOSTER CITY — Leona Roselyn Coonrod, 95, of Foster City passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, surrounded by her family.

Along with her parents, Leona is preceded in death by her husband, Donald Coonrod Sr.; three siblings, Caroline “Mary” (John), Dorothy, and Charles; son-in-law, Rodney Woodward; granddaughter, Olivia; grandson, Christopher; and great-greatgrandson, Wade.

Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 3 at the St. Joseph Catholic Church, W2332 Cemetery Rd. in Foster City, with Fr. Peter Fosu officiating the Funeral Mass at 11 a.m.
