The following year in 1982, Leona married longtime rancher H.J. Lee of McAlister, NM. H.J. retired in 1994 and they bought a home in Clovis, NM. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 90.

She is preceded in death by her parents; former spouses Bill Adkins and H.J. Lee; sister, Anne Dustan; and brother John Juhasz.

Leona is survived by sisters, Jolaine Wagg of Calgary; brother, Joe Juhasz, Jr. of Lethbridge, Alberta; several nieces and nephews; 2 stepfamilies; Bill’s grandchildren and their families; and H.J.’s family. She thought a lot of them all and visited regularly.
