    Mrs Maggie Leonard was always a caring and loving person. She and her brother Kelly, lived in Berrytown by Byrds Chapel, for awhile, in their youth, and rode the bus to school in Meadville. She became known in her later years, for her “ Mrs Maggie Leonard Biscuits”, that she would make take her friends, around town. Prayers, thoughts, and prayers, for the family. Shirley Ikerd
