She also portrayed Corrie ten Boom at Calvary Presbyterian Church and other area churches, sharing the remarkable story of a woman whose faith, courage, and compassion left a lasting impression. Leona enjoyed being involved in her community and was a charter member of the East Flint Lions Auxiliary and the Otisville Classy Lassies of the Red Hat Society. She valued the friendships formed through these organizations and the many opportunities to gather, laugh, and share experiences. Her faith was an important foundation throughout her life. As a devoted member of Calvary Presbyterian Church, she served faithfully as both an elder and a deacon, giving her time and heart to a church family she cherished.

She had a gift for connecting with people, whether through her church, her community involvement, or her love of sharing history. Her years were filled with purpose, friendship, and experiences that made her life uniquely her own.

Their thoughtfulness, compassion, and presence in Leona’s life brought comfort and joy, and the family will always be grateful for the special place they held in her heart.
