“Heart and mind is what Leona lived. Her prayerful contemplation of life was seen in the activities and personal challenges she undertook for herself, setting an example for me as a priest to never give up.”  
Father Arturo Perez, Associate Pastor of St. David Parish, where Sister Leona was principal of the school.

(1939 – 2014)
Sister Leona was born on June 6, 1939, in the village of Maybee, Michigan, to Aloysius and Eleanor (Wess) Bruck. She was the sixth child in a family of seven children. In her biography, Sister Leona wrote, “I grew up on a farm and learned at an early age that ’Charity begins at home,’ where love, kindness, and faith were always practiced openly.” She attended St. Mary Academy in Monroe, Michigan, for two years and then entered the postulate in Adrian, on June 25, 1955, at the age of sixteen.
