Leota was one of those amazing people who always worked so hard to take care of the people that she loved. Growing up, I always felt nurtured and cared for and even spoiled being around her. Her cooking was famous countywide, if not further. Every holiday was a banquet and before every hunting trip there was always the grandest breakfast awaiting all those prepared to venture forth that day. She was a lovely person who honored the land she worked with a richness and depth often lost in her practical ways. She was a kind soul who’s laughter brought smiles and joy to all those who heard it.
I am grateful for all the years that I was blessed to be around Leota, and as sorry as I am to see her go - I am so glad she has found her rest.
In loving memory,
Roger
