Her life revolved around her faith in God and her family. When raising her children, Leta was involved in their school activities, such as being President of Owen Elementary School P.T.A., both Boy Scout and Girl Scout Leader, score keeper for baseball and softball teams. Her goal in life was to show love and to help everyone. She tried so hard to never hurt anyone. For she was a best friend to us all.
