I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Leita personally, but I know she came from a wonderful family who loved her dearly. We were family through marriage. Her volunteer work speaks so highly of a life well lived. I'm sure she will be a great loss to many. She suffered a courageous battle and is now finally at peace. Prayers for her and her loved ones.
