I am so sad to hear this. Mrs. Leckrone was my second mother growing up, as Holly and I were basically inseparable. She was always baking and smiling and teaching us things. She put up with us through our terrible teenage years! She was a beautiful person, inside and out, and raised an amazing family with Bill. My heart goes out to all.

I remember the first Sunday Bill and Joan came to NOUMC.
Both were full of smiles and very friendly.
Bill often commented to me that he preferred the hymn tunes and variations I played for our services.
Blessings to all of her family members.
