Leonora was a very outgoing person, who loved her family deeply. She always enjoyed family gatherings at her home. Leonoras interests were numerous, she enjoyed gourmet cooking, shopping, reading romance novels, furniture auctions and one of her greatest loves was travelling to exotic places with her husband Mervin. Leonora travelled all over the world experiencing many new adventures and cultures. Leonoras personality was one to embrace life to its fullest. As a teenager she performed in many concerts playing the mandolin and singing, she had an artistic quality about her. She was a devoted wife, mother and Baba. She would not hesitate to sacrifice for family and friends. Leonora will be sadly missed by all her friends and her family who regarded her not only as a great friend but a beautiful human being and loving mother. For the past 2 years, she fought a very difficult battle with lung cancer. In this time, Leonora never lost her sense of humour, she battled to the end but that was her nature. Thanks to Doctor Maksymiuk for his kind understanding and the staff on the fourth floor of the Health Sciences Centre.
