Leola was the first-born child of Plennie and Velma Page. Born in Lansing, much of Leola’s young life was spent in Holt, where she graduated from Holt High School and worked for Holt Products Company.
Early in 1954 Leola met Jack C. Garner and they married later that year. In 1956 they built a new home on the Garner family farm near Dansville and lived there together for the next 60 years. Leola was a homemaker who made family her priority.
She spent most of her life as a member of the Nazarene Church. She especially enjoyed singing hymns and was a member of the choir.
Leola was preceded in death by her husband Jack, her brother Duane, and sister Ardeth. She is survived by her sister Erma Balch, brother Darrel Page, and sons Alan, of Lansing, and Roger, of Sanford.
