She married Randl Rogers on July 8, 1967, in Hastings. They made Hastings their home thereafter, and had two children; Sonia and Scott.
Leona had a great desire for helping other people, working at Good Samaritan Village and Caring Hands for many years before her retirement. She also had an enormous love for her family, spending what time she had out of work with her husband, taking care of her grandchildren, or spending time with her children.
She will always be remembered for her love for everyone and her selflessness.

She is survived by her daughter and spouse, Sonia and Wade Chase of Hastings; son, Scott Rogers of Hastings; three grandsons, Paul Chase, Andy Chase, both of Hastings and Alexander Rogers of Olathe, KS; sister, Twila, of Ord; sister-in-law, Jean (Rogers) Cassidy of Lincoln; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and friends.
