Interment will be 2:00PM, at Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery near Little Falls, MN.
Leona was born to Archie and Lillian Noel. She was the seventh child born to this family and was raised by her Great Aunt Louise Hilliard in Lengby, where she attended elementary school.

She especially cherished time with her grandchildren, Andrew, Emily and Kirsten.
