Leona lived a very full and active life. She was a wonderful, loving mother and doting grandmother.

Once in Florida, she played a huge part in her two grandsons' lives and embraced the role as their “Nana”.
Leona adored children and really enjoyed helping people. She volunteered at W.W. Irby Elementary School from 1996 until 2017 when she was diagnosed with early dementia. She loved working with the children at the school, as well as assisting the teachers in their classrooms.

She will be missed and will live in our hearts forever.
