Together again..

Virginia Ann (Leyden) Kyle , age 77, of Paris Township OH gained her angel wings on September 28th, 2021.

Virginia was born in Gadsden, AL on January 4th, 1944. She was preceded in death by her husband, Donnie; her parents Ed and Vivian Leyden; and her niece Kelly Leyden. She is survived by her daughters Angela Stone and Andrea Kainrad (Chris); her son-in-law of of 33 years Jeff Stone; her brothers Donald Leyden (Alice) and Thomas Leyden (Suzanne); her niece Mary Leyden (Nicky); her nephews Sean Leyden (Emmy) and Kyle Leyden; her grandchildren Shea Stone (Lauren), Kylee Nething (Cory), Kenzee Stone and McKala Smith; and her great grandson Jaxson Stone.

Virginia will best be remembered for the love and energy she always brought to her family, especially by the way she loved all her grandchildren. Virginia was always hands-on with her grandchildren and loved taking them on many four wheeler rides around her property as well as fishing right beside them, always with a smile on her face. Virginia was an artist and a music enthusiast. She taught herself how to play several instruments including the electric guitar and organ. Virginia was always creating something. Whether it be using her woodworking skills that helped her to build her own boat house on her pond, working with styrofoam to create elaborate card box sculptures or simply painting portraits of those she loved, she did it all. There was never a dull or quiet moment for those growing up in her home and she would always have new and fun projects for her grandchildren to help tackle alongside her. Virginia could often be found racing or showing one of her vintage muscle cars and was especially fond of her '68 Charger. Virginia loved to drive, she retired from Southeast as a school bus driver where she participated in bus rodeos and other special events. This beautiful and loving soul powered down peacefully surrounded by her family reminiscing on the many wonderful moments they had with their Mamm and Sir holding her hands while playing her favorite Elvis Presley songs.

A celebration of life for Virginia and her late husband, Donnie, will occur in March of 2022. Anyone interested in making a donation in their honor can do so at the Alzheimer's Association or American Heart Association.

The family would like to thank the caring staff at The Woodlands of Ravenna and Crossroads Hospice Care for the love and compassion they provided Virginia and her family in her last moments.
