According to Jody Dillard:

Leona was a 'God-fearin' woman who read her Bible daily and went to the Baptist church regularly. She did not remarry but kept the farm going after Jerry's death along with her children still at home. As the younger children married and moved away they had the 'bunkhouse' moved into to town so their mother would have a home and would be near the church she so loved. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Lueders, Jones Co., TX
