Their family was sealed together in the Logan Temple July 17, 1961 on their 17th anniversary. LeOra met Warren on her way to California during World War II to be a “Rosie the Riveter” for Douglas Aircraft. One month later they were married in Las Vegas, Nevada. She had an exciting life with her loving husband and children. She has traveled to lots of places with her friends and family in their trailer! She liked to golf, bowl, play cards, crochet, cook and have family parties. She’s the best cook we ever knew! She could make aged horseradish taste good. She had many opportunities to serve in the Primary and Relief Society in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was always a good hard worker while never asking for any praise. She was a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. She instilled in her family a love for cooking. Her caramels are her legacy. She is survived by her husband, Warren, two sons and two daughters; Warren L. (Sandra), of Alpine, Victor (Viki) of Sandy, Carol B.(Max) Knoble, of Taylorsville, JoAnn (Chad) Christensen, of Alpine, 20 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Nona Tervort and two brothers, Lynn and Max Reece, all of Payson, Utah. She is preceded in death by her parents and oldest brother, Elden. The family wishes to express our gratitude to Affinity Hospice and Legacy House for the loving care and concern they showed to Mom.
