At Christmas she would bake and make goodies for her care packages to take special ones. Throughout the year she loved to bake and decorate cakes and did so for many special occasions and weddings. Leotia was a person of many talents. She loved to sew and quilt. She made every grandchild a GingerBread Boy quilt.
