Leola retired from the former GTE Sylvania, and was a member of Larryville United Methodist Church. The presence of family was essential in Lee’s life. She could often be found taking trips to new places, visiting family in different states, or laughing at family dinners and picnics. In her 100 years of life she enjoyed picking Florida strawberries, traveling, baking, reading, watching her grandchildren, and great grandchildren grow and eating, especially sweets. Leola will always be remembered for her silent winks of approval when no one else was looking and growling over disliking her picture being taken. She LOVED living in Florida and being born in Buffalo she Hated snow!
