Leona was a hardworking woman throughout her life but enjoyed all the small things that come with it, such as traveling on the road, family vacations, and a simple bowl of strawberry ice cream. She loved to tend to her roses in her yard, taking care of them and appreciating the beauty of each flower. Leona also enjoyed having her rock collection that have holes in them so she could string them along her porch to show off. Her biggest joy in life was being a grandmother to all the grandkids she cared for in her time and serving as a “Granny” to several children throughout her time in Adair County schools.
