Leona loved life; especially time reading, shopping, with family, meeting friends for lunch, and in her numerous volunteer activities. She loved travelling, especially to visit family or to take a cruise. Planning Mystery Tours for her very dear group of friends was a delight for her. Leona is now taking her final Mystery Tour and we know it is the best one yet!
