Leona was such a sweet lady. She loved to talk but loved everyone and always blessed all. Always told us how sweet we were! Loved to work in the gift shop with her friend. Always in pain but she kept going.

Leona, was a very sweet spiritual lady , she lived in the nursing facility (Collingswood Manor) where I work. She would visit with me at the front desk and we would talk about various subjects; the goodness of God, foods we like and dislike, she liked being in the water, she loved her family. Her son Mike and his wife, she being like one of her actual daughters, as well as her natural daughters , her grand children, and of course our birthday's being in November. We would have some fun...
