Such a wonderful, funny, lucky lady... Leona was the grand dame of the Construction Office, and she had it all under control! A wicked sense of humor, a strong will - we will remember her fondly always.

Leona was a great lady. I have known Leona for 41 years and she was such a sweet lady. We worked together at Roseville Telephone Company. She always kept spirits up in the office with her jokes. She will be dearly missed.

I worked with Leona for many years at Roseville Telephone Company. She was a lady who wasn't afraid to speak her mind and in doing so she gave us lots of humorous moments in the office. She spoke a great deal about her family and it was clear that they meant the world to her. The office lost some of its color when Leona retired. I'm glad she had a long retirement and I hope it was a happy one.
