Margaret Leonne Wilkins

Margaret Leonne Wilkins, 61, of Ridgeway, Virginia, passed away at her home on Saturday, August 8, 2026. She was born April 7, 1965, to Leon and Lucille Byrd, both deceased.

Leonne was a woman of Christian faith and a devoted member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. She was a graduate of George Washington Carver High School and earned her Associate of Science degree in Nursing from Patrick Henry Community College. She dedicated her career to private caregiving, finding great fulfillment in caring for others and treating each person with compassion, love, and dignity.

Outside of her work, Leonne enjoyed cooking and singing karaoke. She had a wonderful gift for bringing laughter into any room and making those around her feel loved and valued. Her greatest joy was her family, whom she loved deeply. Though she is no longer with us in person, Leonne's legacy of love, laughter, and kindness will continue to live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her daughters, Jillian Wheeler (Andrew), Adrienne Brady; son, Matthew Lester; sisters, Lynette Saville (Don), Kristen Cassady; and grandchildren, Levi Brady, Declan Brady, and Emory Lester.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. The family wishes to express their gratitude for the love and support that has been shown during their time of grief.
