Leola and I have been friends since 1952 when I started Skelly School. We remained friends throughout all these years. She was more than a friend. She was a confidant and a "big" sister. I will really miss her. We recently met for a reunion with Wanda Umphries Foster and Lola Perky Starky. I love you. Fly high in Paradise.
Lea was my first principal at St. Mary’s School. She convinced me to take on the ever rewarding task of Hands-on Science facilitator. She became a dear mentor and friend. She and Robert had been good friends with my parents, Jerome and Margaret Brockman, who always spoke fondly of their friendship. She was a lovely lady and will be missed by so many! Prayers for the whole family!
Lea was a wonderful woman and helped me become the woman I am today. She gave me my start at St. Mary’s and I will never forget her!
