They were married for 70 years and were blessed with five children. Leon became a successful businessman, and he and Mary moved their family to Bossier City in 1969 where they established the successful business of Shreveport Mack Sales. They loved to travel and were active and faithful members of Airline Drive Church of Christ where they gave generously with love.
