They made their home in Albuquerque and have been active members at Paradise Hills United Methodist Church since 1985. Paula is survived by her husband C.W. Leonard, of Rio Rancho, her twin children - son Chip Leonard and wife Candy, of Mesa, AZ; and daughter Tracy R. Leonard, of Albuquerque; grandchildren Trent Leonard, Erica Barrios, Amelia Barrios, and Alicia Barrios. She also leaves behind many special friends who will all miss her contagious smile.
