She was our hero. She was a beloved wife, mother, teacher, caretaker, and an avid dog whisperer. Granny loved nothing more than cooking a big meal and having a family celebration.
She graduated from Palmetto High, a 12-year school. She went on to USL and received a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. She continued her education in the field of Special Education. She was married to Bryan Leger, Sr. for 58 years and was the love of his life.

The grandchildren include: Jonathan & Tonie’ Smith, Patrick Harbison, Lindsey Leger & Layth Wahbeh, Mary Claire & Steven French, Lyndon Leger, Austin Smith, Thomas Harbison & Mason Smith. The great-grandchildren include: Hadley Kate, Blake, Wyatt and Miller.
