She was in the first graduating class of the new Springfield High School, where she was a competing member of the Marilynettes. They had the privilege of performing during President John F.

Leona loved to bake and decorate cakes for all different occasions from birthdays to weddings for anyone who needed one. She was an active member at Western Avenue United Methodist Church where she held several different officer positions until the church closed. She also was a volunteer at Flower Hospital for many years. Leona enjoyed going to concerts, plays, crafts, reading, Sudoku puzzles, walking, line dancing, gardening, working in her yard, cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers and she even still enjoyed twirling her baton. Most of all, she loved spending time with family and friends and organizing parties.
