Leona loved to cook for family gatherings. Getting up at 4am on Thanksgiving to put the turkey in the oven so everyone could eat by noon. Every meal had three vegetables and two meats. Her red velvet and German chocolate cake from scratch were a real treat. Leona loved to can and freeze vegetables and fruits all summer long; pickles, corn, strawberries, pears, peaches, tomatoes. At Christmas she made fudge, toffee and ten different kinds of cookies. Leona loved the outdoors and loved to be at the cabin riding the four wheeler.
