She lived most of her life in Caddo County. During her school years in Carnegie, OK, she was active in basketball, twirling, band, and pep club cheerleading and loved being a member of the Wildcat Class of 1956.

Leota was married to Clifford Dale Brown, and they enjoyed many years of activities and travel with J.C. Jaynes and Lions club. She was a member of the Cosmetology association, graduating in 1959. She enjoyed being a beautician for many years.
She dearly loved her children and their friends, and her door was always open. “Momma Brown.” as many have called her over the years, was always thrilled to have her children's friends visit her, when they were in town even after grown up.
