She (and Joe) mostly enjoyed selling their produce, baked goods and canned goods at the Wolf Point Farmers Market and at the Poplar Activity Center. She easily built friendships and people loved her homemade goodies. Many of her friends and family repeatedly told her she was underpriced on her goods. She simply (stubbornly) replied that people didn’t have much money and she wouldn’t raise her prices. She would give away anything she had, except treasured pictures. She is survived by her daughter, Thelma of Wolf Point, and her son, Joseph of Great Falls; 15 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Joseph Merle Leggett; son, Thomas Leggett; stepfather, Louis LaFloe; and sisters, Claudia Creighton and Celina Severson.
