Leone Ruth Bedient DolliverWatkins Glen, NY

Leone Ruth Bedient Dolliver, age 71, of Watkins Glen, passed away on January 17, 2026.

Leone was born in western Allegany County in Cuba, New York, the fourth of nine children to Stanley and Ruth Bedient. Her career followed a path of compassion and care for others, working as a private home health caregiver. She believed that while she never did anything spectacular or made a lot of money, she touched people’s lives when they needed it most. Leone kept small children safe after school and provided dressing, feeding, care, and comfort to many, always striving to make a difference. She hoped to be remembered for those acts of kindness.

She was predeceased by her parents, a brother, Brian Bedient, and a grandson, Camden German.

Leone is survived by her three daughters, Corey Dolliver, Sara (Daniel) German, and Katie Dolliver. She is also survived by her siblings, Jeanine (Ron) Watson, Sharon (Jim) Carpenter, Cynthia Bedient (Ellie Ward), Stephen (Debra) Bedient, Khristine Bedient, Betty Lou Bedient, and Emilie Bedient.

Her grandchildren, who meant the world to her, include Alexis Dolliver, Ryan Ames, Olivia Ames, Natalie Cagle, Allyson Cornish, Hannah Ball, Tyler Ball, Emily Ball, Cody Ball, Colby German, Keegan German, Kayleigh German, and Ciara German. She is also survived by one great-grandson, Jordan Kade Jennings, and her best friend, Linda Frazier.
