Leila Pearl (Leonard) Frazier, 91, of Calhan, Colorado passed away at Cottonwood Ridge Assisted Living Care Center with her family by her side on March 28, 2007.
Leila was born on January 2, 1916 in Strang, Nebraska to Harvey and Jessie (Mullikin) Leonard. She was the fourth child of twelve children. Leila graduated from Sugar City High School in 1933, after attending grade school in Edison.
Leila married Cecil Frazier in Las Animas, Colorado on March 16, 1935 and they were blessed with eight children. The couple lived in Delta, Colorado from 1973 â 1994.
Leila loved her family very much, especially her grandchildren, great grandchildren and her great-great grandchildren. She enjoyed many things, especially watching family members in their sporting events, playing card games, dominoes, and yahtzee. But, her real passion was quilting. In fact, that was one of her many contributions to the Calhan United Methodist Church, where she was an active member since 1994.
Leila was preceded in death by her parents; husband Cecil; her son Douglas, a granddaughter Karrie Frazier, great granddaughters Malea Kritine Frazier, and LaKota Lyn Wilson, her sister Ida Green Sterrett, her brothers: Marion Leonard, Roy Leonard, George Leonard, Richard (Dick) Leonard and Warren Leonard.
Leila is survived by seven of her children: Melvin and his wife Betsey of Delta, Colorado, Leonard and his wife Martha of Rush, CO; Evelyn and her husband Dale Gotschall of Calhan, CO; Jerald and his wife Nelda of Guymon, OK; Jesse and his wife Dana of Fowler, CO; Patt and her husband Don Bromley of Aurora, CO; and Clint and his wife Zorene of Colorado Springs, CO.
Leila is also survived by four sisters: Kathleen Lister of Loveland, CO; Velma McDonald of Rocky Ford, CO; Verna Sorenson of Colorado Springs, CO; and Jeanne and her husband Kenneth Mays of Olney Springs, CO.
Leila is also survived by twenty-five grandchildren, thirty-four great grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren.
