Leona and her husband, Don Glass, operated Westwood Plumbing in Wedgwood for many years and were very active in the Associated Plumbing Contractors of Fort Worth and its auxiliary. They were also active members of Wedgwood Baptist Church where they made many lifelong friends. Leona found her greatest pleasure in helping others.

For many years she was also active in the Adult Education Program at Tarrant County College, South Campus, as well as the choir and Sunday school at South Cliff Baptist Church.

Leona's creativity was seen everywhere in her home. She was always busy with crafts, watercolor painting, gardening, and cooking. Leona also enjoyed traveling, especially taking cruises. She found pleasure in whatever she was doing and brought pleasure to those who were around her. Her smile and laughter were contagious, and she never met a stranger.
