Leona was a very loving, caring, hardworking and outgoing person; often spoken of as a social butterfly. Over the years she was employed with Stream, the Savoy Theater and more recently with First Canada, in Alberta.
She will be fondly remembered by many for her great cooking and baking; she also enjoyed sewing, knitting and enjoying a cup of coffee with her friends.
