On July 1, 2005, Leona was united in marriage to Robert (Bob) Stinnette and traveled together with him in the long-haul trucking business. After Bob's retirement, they traveled together in their motorhome, visiting all 50 states and Canada, something Leona was very proud to have accomplished. Leona enjoyed sewing, rock collecting, flowers, her dogs and cats, and growing a large vegetable garden, where for the past 12 years she could be found most Saturdays at the Gravette Farmer's Market, where she made many friends and loyal customers. She will be missed by many. Leona was preceded in death by her parents, a son, Frankie Tillman, sisters, Brenda Hammers, Sharon Harding and Joyce Bingham.
