Annie Leona (Briley) Folta passed away on Sunday, October 14, 2012, as a result of complications from kidney failure and cancer and is now in the presence of her Savior, Jesus Christ.
Leona (Lee to many of her friends and co-workers), was born in Webbers Falls, Oklahoma, on Valentine's Day 1944 and lived in the Tri-Cities for 66 years, growing up with her sisters in Richland, graduating from Columbia High School (now Richland High School) in 1962. She worked as a Dental Assistant for a time and later worked as a Document Control Specialist at the Federal Building in Richland until she retired in March 2012.
Leona was a devoted mother of five, who loved spending time with her family and would do anything for her kids and grandkids. She loved playing cards with family and friends. Leona was a big fan of old Westerns, the Seattle Seahawks and the Seattle Mariners. She attended church with her daughter Candice at Prayer Watch Christian Center in Kennewick.

She is preceded in death by her father, Warren Briley (1912-2004) and her first husband, Terry Parcell.
