She was born in Lowell, MA on October 29, 1943, the daughter of late Ernest and Catherine (Duggan) Jacques. She was also the step- daughter of the late Arthur Leblanc. Leona worked at Raytheon for many years in the Engineer Support Department. She was a reliable worker and was proud of the products she and her team produced. Leona enjoyed card games such as 45’s and cribbage. She also loved playing dominoes with friends, reading, completing puzzles, and listening to country music. She cherished her time spent with her grandchildren and over the years, developed a very special bond with them, always having an open door if they needed a shoulder to lean on. Her grandchildren will always remember the stories Leona would tell them, some appropriate, some not so appropriate, they loved them all! She truly loved being a ‘Nana’. Leona and her son, Dennis, shared a special bond. She never held back how proud she was of him and as the years went on, their relationship became stronger. Some of Leona’s fondest memories were cookouts at her son’s house, and gathering with her family during the holidays. Leona is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, Dennis and Debbie Janowicz of Dracut MA; two daughters, Donna Stern of CA, and Denise Mindes of NH, and the late Diane Janowicz; six grandchildren, Sean Quinlan, Laura Tracey, Kathryn, Lauren, and Abby Janowicz, and Madison Mindes, and the late Keith Janowicz; three great grandchildren, Cody, Lexi, and Cole Janowicz; and many friends, including her very special friend Judi, who was by her side for more than 50 years of friendship.
