MS. LEONNE JEAN BAPTISTE
A Homegoing Service for Ms. Leonne Jean Baptiste of Tampa, Florida, who passed away on Wednesday, July 21, 2021, will be held on Satur- day, August 7th, at 2 p. m. at Aikens Funeral Home, 2708 E. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Tampa, FL, 33610.
Leonne Jean Baptiste was born on November 15, 1957, in Saint Louis du Nord, Haiti. Her father was Jean Louis Jean Baptiste, and mother, Florina Jean Bap- tiste. She came here with the help of her older brother, who brought her here to live in Florida. She created a life of her own by diligently working to provide for her family and raising her three children.
In 2008, she battled with health issues due to renal failure. Although her health began to decline, she always had a bright smile and never complained. Every person she met, and places she would go, people would ac- knowledge her positive out- look on life. She would constantly have a radiant smile that stretched from ear to ear. She loved music, singing, and dancing.
Leonne was a loving, re- spectful, and persevering woman with few words. In the last few years of her life, Leonne built a relationship with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God revealed to her through several miracles that he was with her throughout the difficult mo- ments in her life. It led her to surrender and accepted Jesus into her life.
Leonne is survived by: her loving family and friends, Circio Cadet and their son, Terry Cadet, Lelio Petithomme and their chil- dren, Levi Petithomme (wife, DeBreanna Pe- tithomme) and Louise Chau- doin, who took care of her until her passing (husband, Andrew Chaudoin); grand- children, Levi, DeAnna, De- Lana Petithomme, and Jeneral Cadet; sisters, Fran-
cilia and Amazile Jean Bap- tiste; sister-in-law, Marie Jean Baptiste and many nephews and nieces.
