Leona Ellen (Nelson) Ohland

It is with heartfelt sadness that the family of Leona Ellen Ohland of Cold Lake, Alberta announces her unexpected passing on Tuesday, April 12, 2022 at the age of 74 years old.

Leona was predeceased by her son: Chuck Ohland in 2004 & granddaughter: Randi Lynn Ohland in 1994.

Leona was very active in a number of family businesses.  These included the start-up of “Bonnyville Water Conditioning” in 1979; a very successful, “Water Treatment Service Business” in Lloydminster; an active, “Oilpatch Commercial Water Treatment Service Company” in Slave Lake and a “Hot Tub, Pool Table Store” in Cold Lake called “Games N Stuff”.
