Leona was gifted in many ways, from being a well-rounded worker to teaching herself to play piano and guitar. She had a great knowledge of life and politics and wasn’t afraid to let you know it. Her infamous one liner of “here’s the deal” usually meant she was going to tell you her opinion and basically yours didn’t matter.
