Condolence: Our sincere sympathy and condolences to Jack and to Monica and her family.
Leona and I grew up together as we lived two houses from one another, Leona could only speak French and I could only speak English yet we managed to play and understand each other. In the summer of.1963 we both arrived in Toronto a month apart and shared an apartment together until 1969. Three weeks ago I spoke to Leona by phone and could hear in her voice how very tired she was. Leona was a kind and very unselfish person who put others before herself. We will miss her descriptive Christmas letters telling of her family,projects and trips,
Rest in peace Leona and may. God bless you.

Condolence: Jack and family: We were sorry to hear about Leona. We were always inspired by Leona's spirit, determination, courage and will to live life to the fullest. Leona will be remembered with fond memories by Chloe and Matthew as she was so interested in them as they grew. We always looked forward to seeing you both at the Hurlbut and extended family Christmas and those are memories we will cherish. From Gord....Leona had a common interest in geneology with his parents and shared interest in Scottish history in Canada and his parents enjoyed corresponding with Leona over the years. Gord fondly remembers his chats with Leona about his parents as they developed challenges in their lives as they aged and will always appreciate her listening and caring. We regret that we are not able to join you in remembering and celebrating Leona's life but know you are all in our thoughts.
Love, Jan, Gord, Matthew and Chloe Fansher

Condolence: This is all so very very sad. Leona's dad Alex was my father Bob Brown's best friend. They were together the night my father was killed in New Victoria by a hit and run drunk driver. Alex, Beatrice, Leona, Willie Joe, and Josephine spent many happy times visiting with our family. Leona and I grew to be friends. We were the same age. She was a lovely girl. Always happy and kind. Being the oldest she was often taking care of the younger ones and helping her Mom. I visited her Mom Beatrice on my visits to New Waterford and she kept me posted on Leon's successful and happy life in Ontario. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. I pray you will all be comforted by the warm loving memories of Leona and times you shared. May God Grant you Peace at this difficult time.

Sincere, loving heartfelt memories from an old New Victoria/Cape Breton friend.

Condolence: our deepest sympathies to all family and friends of Leona. I have known her through her sister,Monica and feel of the deep loss that you must all be experiencing. May your many treasured memories keep her forever in your heart. Families are forever!

Condolence: My grandmother was Sophie, the sister of Alex. I never met Leona but I still would like to offer my condolences from her family living in the Yukon. Take care.

Condolence: Leona was a long-time and highly valued employee of CIBC. Her soul mate Jack Macdonald was also a long time CIBC employee. Both are well known to many bankers in Ontario. Among her many other activities, Leona was a much appreciated contributor to the CIBC (GTA)Social Group Committee. We have lost a very special person. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Jack and Leona's relatives.

Condolence: I am sorry to hear of Leona's passing. She will certainly be missed by the Macdonald family. As you face this sad time may you remember the special times that Leona left for you to cherish. Bernice Aitken
