She married Wesley in May 1960. She loved music and she greatly enjoyed playing the accordian, piano and violin. She especially enjoyed teaching her children action songs and dancing around with them to the music. She taught them songs about Jesus and although it was a lot of work, she practiced many hours with them to sing together as a family for several churches. They were commonly known as "The VonLeonard Family Singers" She also loved animals and enjoyed training and riding her horses. You would often find her out in the horse pasture (in bare feet) working with her horses, or with bunnies in her pockets, or petting the dogs. She also loved sewing and crafts. She would make all of her children matching outfits for Christmas every year.
