Leonor's Story

Leonor is from Edinburg, Texas. She is widowed. Her schools include Edinburg High School. She later attended Pan American University (Nursing), University of Texas San Antonio (Nurse Practioner Program). She works(ed) at Retired Nurse. Leonor's interests include Baking and Cake Decorating, Sewing, Attempting Quilting, Crochet and other Crafts.---have an Ebay Store selling mainly Fabric. ,My passion is music--lots of different kinds--depending on mood/needs, specially Country Music--listen to Eddie Saenz- our hometown boy who sings and also appears on "Nashville". Musica romantic from Spanish language artists, especially those from the 70's and 80's, and of course our "Oldies". I sang in Clubs in the 70's and even opened for Johnny ...Expand for more
Rodriguez here, went to Nursing School during this time. I love to read--especially books written by Nicholas Sparks and James Patterson. I married in my mid thirties, so I have 2 great children, Stephani and David in their mid 20's, I have 3 stepdaughters and their seven children that now live in the South Carolina area..Unfortunately, My Husband Elliot passed away 5 years ago from Cancer--we had been married 25 years. I retired early due to the effects of the strains a Nurses body endures. One of my favorite quotes is:"A Hundred years from now it will not matter what your bank account was, what sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove... But the world may be different because you were important in the life of a CHILD".
