Although she was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, Leona's family moved to and from Colorado several times during her elementary school years, as her father followed work.
In March, 1934 while living in Cañon City, Colorado, Leona was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Elder Arthur Chapman, a missionary from Heber City, Utah.

Leona was obviously a good student in Edna Wheeler's 6th grade class, as evidenced by this report card. Not only did she have straight A's, but Mrs. Wheeler consistently gave her check marks for "Excellent attitude and progress". A model student!
