Irene (Striplin) Ledom

April 25, 1924 — July 1, 2018

Elizabeth Irene Ledom, 94, of Pleasant Hill, was born April 25, 1924, in Ottawa, Kansas, the daughter of Wesley Miles and Georgia Lee (Bunyan) Striplin. She departed this life Sunday, July 1, 2018, at the Westwood Living Center in Clinton.

On August 6, 1941, she was united in marriage to Golde Max Ledom in Ottawa, Kansas. He preceded her in death on January 17, 2006.

Irene was a homemaker. She loved shopping on QVC, redecorating and arranging furniture, knitting (she made an afghan for all her grandchildren), and teaching ceramic painting. She especially enjoyed fussing over her grandchildren. One of her traits, which many will fondly remember, is that she always wore earrings; as soon as she woke up she put them on.

She was also preceded in death by her parents.

She is survived by her son Dr. Wesley M. (and Barbara) Ledom Prairie Village, Kansas; her daughter, Brenda Davis of Raytown; special daughter Judy Ledom of Prairie Village; 5 grandchildren, Devin (and Arika) Ledom of Overland Park, Heather (and Robert) Meyer of Prairie Village, Patrice (and Kenny) Adams and Todd (and Samantha) Dinges, all of Pleasant Hill, and Jake Ledom of Prairie Village; 10 great grandchildren, Landry Ledom and Lawson Ledom both of Overland Park, Brianna Welch and Alexis Meyer, both of Prairie Village; Stephen (and Sara) Adams of Birmingham, Alabama, Spencer Adams of Springfield, Missouri, Trisha (and Taylor) Scrivner, of Peculiar, Johnnie Berry, Macee Adams, and Hayden Dinges, all of Pleasant Hill; 2 great great grandchildren, Einsley Scrivner, Brayden Adams; other relatives and friends.
