Leona was my grandma. I am the step daughter of Sterling. She never treated me any different. I miss her chicken fried rice and salads. I will truly miss her and I will always love her. Your granddaughter Jacque.

What a long and interesting life she had! To be that vivacious and engaged in her life for over 100 years surely must be recognized as a form of greatness. My condolences to all the fortunate family and friends of Leona.
