Leona was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Delores Ann, and her first husband Howard W. Jones.  She is survived by her husband Charles Millican, her children Bill Jones, Mary Jones, Virginia Dumlao, Ken Jones, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Leona was an intelligent and outgoing woman that made friends easily.  She was a great parent, spouse and a hard worker, not retiring until her mid-eighties.  She enjoyed gardening, the outdoors and was blessed with very good health until just a few months ago.
