I knew Leota for a long time as a deerfield resident. As a regular volunteer and spiritual team volunteer I was pleased to have her part of the Tuesday morning grocery bus that I travel on and help out with. I hope they have good rolls and donuts in heaven Leota, someday I will stop in when I am there and share some with you. May you rest in peace and God’s love to the remaining Family
