To Lee's family and friends, my condolences. Myself and my mother in law Mary Ellen Parker both had the pleasure to work with Lee at St. Clare Manor so many years ago. She was an outstanding nurse and such a friendly co-worker. Although my mother in law passed last September, Lee was one of the nurses she talked about often when we talked about our years at St. Clare. I loved it that your mom always wore the nurses dress, shoes, stockings and cap. She looked great. She taught me so much about working with the geriatric population. Her kind heart and smile I will always remember. Sincerely, Susie Parker

Paul and Family-- Very sorry to learn of your mom's passing. She was so active at First Pres through the years-- was one of a group who kept in touch with my mom the last 10 years she was in nursing homes. We are now in the Albuquerque area, but news of a good woman like her travels far. We are sure she got good care at Hospice. Please accept Nancy' and my deepest sympathies.

I was Leon's hairdresser for many, many years until she had to go to an assisted living facility. She was not only my client, she was my very special friend. I loved listening to the stories she would share of her younger years. She really lived life to the fullest! Leon gave so much of herself to others. She would tell me how when she worked at St. Clare Manor, there were people that never had visitors and she would go and spend time with them and get to see a friendly face that would listen to them. Leon was so caring/nurturing, that's the type of woman she was, always thinking of others. I am so grateful to have had her in my life, she was not only special to myself but also to my family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family in their loss to their mom/grandma. Love, Bev Harrington & Family

Lee was more like Aunt Lee to me. She showed me how to live life by example with prayers and list making at night and Bible reading in the morning. I marveled at how her energy was always much more than mine as I watched her from across the street working in her garden. I admired her organizational skills displayed in her beautiful home and cards she would send to people in need from her church. As strong single woman, she was an encouragement to me, being single myself. A true nurse at heart, Lee gave me her chicken with vegetables recipe and encouraged me towards health with recommendations like eating frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. She always had a smile to share. Sending love to you Lee, free on the other side. Friend and Neighbor, Marie VanDette

I remember Lee fondly as I played bridge with her for many years with the Gathering Gals! I was the youngest member of the group as I was asked to join after they had been together for years as a mother’s club before they started playing bridge after their kids had grown! I also played bells with her at First Pres. for a bit. She was a lovely woman and I haven’t seen her in a few years as I know she hasn’t been well, but she is missed! Sending love to her family!
