Ione Hull

May 18,1925 – October 8, 2021

Lena “Ione” Hull, age 96 of Ithaca, Michigan, went peacefully and gently to be with the Lord our God with her family by her side, on October 8, 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents Earl and Gertrude Williams, stepmother Yula Williams, stepmother Edith Williams, her loving husband of 52 years Nolan Hull, and daughter-in-law Pat Hull. She is survived by her children Gary Hull of Ithaca, Judy (John) Shinabarger of Greenville, and Mark (Connie) Hull of Lake Isabella. Ione had four grand children Kara (Aaron) Smith, Leah (Kelly) Miller, Brad (Erin) Price and Heath (Christine) Hull and eight great grandchildren.  

Ione was a devoted member of the Ithaca Church of God where she spent many years involved with the Women of the Church of God WCG in charge of bereavement meals. She would always reminisce about making pies with the women of the church.  In her later years, Ione enjoyed spending her time at the Ithaca Senior Center playing bingo, dominos, and sharing meals with friends.  Ione’s greatest passion was being a loving wife, homemaker, and mother to her three children. Nolan and Mark would always love the meals she would bring to them while they were working in the fields on the family farm. Ione was dedicated to helping the community and served as a member of the local Mother’s Club where she enjoyed meeting and spending time with local mothers and their families. 

Nolan and Ione also had a home in Florida where they would spend their winters enjoying some time away from the family farm. Family and friends would look forward to the home-grown oranges and grapefruit they would bring home in the springtime. 

The family sincerely thanks Rod and Myra (owners) and the Direct Care Workers at Rosewood Adult Foster Care in Ithaca for their intensive and loving care of our mother during the final days of her life.

Funeral services for Ione will be 11am Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at the Ithaca Church of God with Pastor Tom Whitesel officiating. Visitation will be 4-6pm Monday, October 11, at the Barden Funeral Home in Ithaca. Memorial contributions may be made in her name to a charity of your choice.

The family is being served by the Barden Funeral Home in Ithaca. Condolences may be left for the family online at www.bardenfuneralhome.com.

Sincere condolences from our Ringle/Vozar family to your family. This sad news brings back a flood of memories ....both good times and sad times...of shared times together.....Earl and Gertrude, harvest time with Earl at the mill, holiday dinners at Grandma Fellers, Christmas time with Harley, Nolan and John's off farm winter jobs,..... the list goes on and on. My mother-in-law., Lillian Ringle Vozar and Grandma Lizzy Ringle Feller were especially close to Ione. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Judy, Gary and Mark... Your mom and the other ladies and families in the neighborhood greatly enriched our lives. I had some good conversation with your mom the last few years and she was still sharp... and is missed. Blessings, Steve
