Jeannie Shere Leone

  Jeannie Shere Leone, 3, of Zwolle drowned at 2:45 p.m.,
Saturday, Jan. 4, on Toledo Bend Lake, about one mile off Blue
Lake Road, following a freak accident.

  The child was apparently with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence Leone, prior to the drowning. The Leones left the child
in a pickup truck and went fishing.

  According to Sabine Parish Sheriff George R. Cook, the keys were
in the truck. "The child apparently started the truck, and it
rolled into the lake." The truck rolled 40 to 50 feet from the
road to the lake, and came to a stop in 20 feet of water.

  The body was recovered by the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Dept., and
La. State Trooper, Lee Raymond Isgitt.

  Survivors include the child's mother, Patricia Leone, and
maternal grandparents.

  Funeral services were held Monday, Jan. 6, at 3 p.m., at the
Zwolle First Baptist Church, with the Rev. J. Lee Dickinson
officiating. Burial was in the Zwolle Cemetery, under the
direction of Warren Meadows Funeral Home.
