It's tough to read about those who graduated several year after you, and passed so early in life. Condolences to the family and may she rest in peace.

Leota has been on the '69 Memorial list for quite some time. Sorry you didn't know about her passing,
Cathy.

I didn't know she had passed away either. I was in Girl Scouts with her older sister, Christie.
Cathi Fitzpatrick
She was my sister-in-law for a short time. I knew she had passed, but didn’t know when. I remember lists as being a truly sweet person. 💖

My husband(Anthony Castro) says he sat between her and Cheryl Chapman in Mr. Aiken’s Government class. The two girls were always talking to each other with Anthony being the middle man. It is a good memory for him.

I got to know her when she moved to Burbank and was in my class at Emerson elementary school. We were friends and she had a great Halloween party at her house one year. Lovely home and sweet parents. I m so sorry. I hadn't seen this on the Memorial list.

Leota and her husband became my landlords in 1998. I wanted to adopt a child a few years later and ended up with 2 beautiful girls because of them. They were thrilled to have my girls next door. Leota was so wonderful to them, my sister and me. About 2 years after Leota was diagnosed with cancer, my sister was too. She lived with me and my girls. I lost my sister in 2009, only 11 months after her diagnosis. Leota passed almost a year after that. I miss sitting on the porch talking with her. She had the best laugh! Leota was one of a kind and I feel blessed to have known her.
