Resident of the Month
Nancy Leonard
Nancy was born to Harold and Olive Corder May 11, 1941, in El Dorado
Springs, Missouri. At a young age Nancy would tell her mom that she had to
have a sister, and four years later her younger sister, June, was born. Nancy’s
father was a truck driver and hauled corn from Iowa to Arkansas. Many times
the family would join him in his travels across the states. Her Mom was a
homemaker and worked at the Nevada State Hospital. Later, her father went
to work at the State Hospital.
Nancy grew up in the country and went to a country school. She started
the 8 th grade at El Dorado Springs School. She was in the Glee Club, but was
limited to participation in most activities due to transportation. Nancy gradu-
ated from El Dorado Springs School in May 1959. She met her husband,
Cletis, during her senior year of High School and the couple were married on
Dec. 19, 1959. They lived in the Blackjack area, working the family farm and
had three sons who also helped on the farm. Nancy was always busy, tending
to the garden and canning vegetables. She also attended the baseball games
all season long and then football games with the boys. The family attended
church at Blackjack and Bethel Free Will, where she was the church secretary
and Sunday School teacher. Nancy also worked
at the local shoe factory for a short time and
then at the Dunbrooke Shirt Factory for 20
years. Nancy and Cletis were married for 52
years and have 12 grandchildren and 10 great-
grandchildren.
Nancy enjoys traveling and has made trips
to California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia and
Wyoming. She loves to read and has had many
book collections including Romance Christian
Novels. Nancy participates in several activities
and events held at Community Springs.
Thank you Nancy for sharing your story and
being our Resident of the Month.
