Leona was a very independent, hard working woman. She enjoyed dancing, cooking and walking. She would walk anywhere she needed to go, sometimes avoiding taking the elevator and climbing the stairs. Leona was very dedicated to her faith and would repeat the Rosary several times a day. She also enjoyed helping others by volunteering at the neighboring nursing home. She always had a smile on her face that brightened any room and left a lasting impression. Leona was greatly loved and will be dearly missed.
