Leona was born on July 9, 1933, in Catahoula, Louisiana. Leona loved going to church and lived her life guided by her strong faith.

A talented and creative soul, she enjoyed sewing and baking, often sharing her creations with those she loved.

Above all, Leona cherished time spent with her family. Whether gathered together for special occasions or everyday moments, her presence brought warmth, laughter, and comfort to all who knew her.
