To this union, three children were born: Connie, Darlene and Gerald. Alfred built the house that she lived in from 1947 to 2021 on 17th St. This home was filled with their favorite things like knickknacks of all kinds, including a "hand" collection. In her later years, Leona loved her waterless flowers in her yard, and she loved planning parties. Leona was a lifelong member of St. Bonaventure Church and a member of Christian Mothers.
