Obituary for Leona Cecilia Royalty (Cowart)

Leona Cecilia  Royalty (Cowart)
Leona Cecilia Royalty – October 31,1921 – December 12, 2018
Preceded in death by her parents, Louis Leander Cowart and Florence Leona Howell.
All of her siblings.
All of her Children: Leon Clark, Brenda Mascari, Gary Clark, and Steve Clark.
Her Grandchildren: Carrie Clark, Molly Cowart, Isreal Clark, Kurt Clark.

Survived by: Great Nephew and caregiver Wes Cowart and wife Gwen. Grandchildren: Paul Clark, Stephanie Clark rushing, Rebecca Cowart Meyer, Melynda Clark Wilson, Jody Clark, Kenneth Clark, Kimberly Clark Rather, Michelle Clark LeRoux, Jeremy Clayton Cowart and their spouses. Many beloved great and great great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great and great great nieces and nephews, and friends.

Leona was born in Houston, Texas to Louis Leander and Florence Leona. She cherished her growing up years and beamed with Joy as she told about her loving daddy and accommodating mother. She would say how her daddy worked hard, stood straight and greeted her with hugs and kisses and she looked forward to seeing him everyday. Her mother, she remembered was a gardener of roses and she had every color, she was a good cook and she often fed 13 homeless people per day off of her front porch. She was proud of them.
Leona married Paul Henry Clark (PH) and together they had 4 children in 5 years. PH was killed at Iwo Jima. She was left to care for her children and had no job skills for support. It was a struggle but she recalled many happy times and loved playing with her children. Because of this Leona had a real heart for Pastor Jim Hagee’s ministry “Sanctuary of Hope”, taking in unwed mothers, providing a home, teaching job skills, and offering hope to those in need. She contributed generously to that ministry and many others such as the bread of life ministry in Kansas feeding the homeless, missionaries to Africa spreading the Gospel around the world, The Indian children in north America and Samaritan’s purse to name a few. Leona had such a compassionate and generous heart for those in need. After PH died Leona met and married Paul Trusdale. He was her children’s “Daddy” and they thought the son rose and set in him. She praised him highly for taking such good care of them and thanked God for his part in their lives.
Struggles of life took it’s toll and her and Paul divorced. She met and married Don Royalty but after some time they too divorced and Paul who never stopped loving her came back home and was with her until he departed this world.
Leona worked as secretary/receptionist to Les Cowart her nephew’s landscaping company in Friendswood, Texas and was complimented for her ability to greet the costumer on the phone or in person. After that she managed the greenhouse apartments in Houston until she eventually moved to Kerrville, Texas where she managed apartments until she retired. At her hill country home she loved to cook, work in her herb garden, paint, and do crafts with her beloved niece, Vera. She cherished the times when her family would visit and recalled many happy memories.
For the last 2 ½ years of her life she lived with her great nephew Wes in Hutto. She had suffered many tragedies and much loss with the deaths of her loved ones and mourned them greatly. When her last days came she told several of her loved ones goodbye and expressed her love in many ways. She looked forward to seeing her family in heaven and told us for about 2 weeks that they were coming to her in her dreams. She wanted to walk again, jump on the bed and feel good again. She longed to see her grandkids once more and was comforted when many of them were able to come in her last hours. We played Christion music in her room, baked cookies for a pleasing aroma for her and her girls sang her favorite hymns while hugging and kissing her as she passed from this world. We take comfort that she is walking the streets of gold, jumping on every bed in her mansion, and happily greeting and visiting with the many loved ones who have gone before.
We love you Aunt Leona, Nanny, Ona, and friend. One day we will stroll over heaven with you. Until we meet again.
