  • Introduction

    Donna Mae Leamer was born on January 1, 1936 in Pennsylvania to parents Donald Francis Leamer (1903-1978) and Sarah Ethel Brown (1906-1971). She had a sister, Lois Jean Leamer (1927-2020) and they grew up in Burnside, Clearfield, Pennsylvania, USA. On October 28, 1961 she married Edwin Francis Leone (1931–2009) in Heilwood, Pennsylvania, USA. Together they had two children together; Dawn and Edwin Leone. Mom was a devout Christian, wonderful wife and a mother who would gladly and selflessly do anything for her children. She and Dad always said they would never go anywhere that us children couldn't come along - very God and family oriented. Mom was a meticulous record keeper - the old-school, do everything in triplicate kind of record keeper. She had a beautiful voice - an accomplished, soprano singing voice and a lovely, alto speaking voice. I always loved hearing her answer the phone - very professional. I can still see her take dad's hand as he was driving us to our next NASCAR track to work at, saying how happy she was that we could all be doing this together. It was my honor to take care of them in the final years of their lives. I only wish that in my youth, I would have realized how precious being close to them was, never going away to college and living away from them for 11 years. -Dawn
