Leona was born and raised in Modesto California,, is where she built a life that included nine beautiful children Three sisters and two brothers.

Leona was one of the most loving caring who would have given anybody the shirt off of her back or anything else that they needed if she had it to make their lives just a little bit easier.

She had an infectious smile strong and stubborn very spirited with a great love for life.

During the past two years Leona fought with a vengeance and was dedicated to her dialysis to try to improve her quality of life. Sadly her fight became too much for her and God had to intervene.

God stepped in and called her home. Unfortunately for the rest of us left behind we mourn the loss of a beautiful mother sister cousin niece and friend. Whatever she was to someone or to everyone she was definitely a special woman.

Our hearts will forever miss her but we will never forget her.

She now rest in peace.
