Leta was a believer in Jesus Christ and was an active member of her church, First Baptist Church of Forney, TX and was a member of the Ruth Class. She always loved the yearly family reunions and never missed attending. She was diligent in keeping up with family birthdays and recorded every birth in her family and everyone called her “Mom." She loved to sing and was a huge fan of southern gospel music and fried chicken!

Mom requested her grandsons Matthew Murr, Joshua Murr, Dwight Murr Jr., Dallas Murr, Eric Hooker and David Dunkerley to serve as her pallbearers and Austin Murr as honorary pallbearer.
