Our beloved singer, Leola, passed away last week. Leola lived for many years with Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s did not take away her ability to sing. And sing she did….while getting dressed, riding in the car, watching tv and most times she was awake! Twice a week, her daughter Denise, would bring Leola to Music Mends Minds rehearsals. They would settle themselves on stage in front of the mic. Denise would brush Leola’s hair so she looked pretty and Leola would begin to sing her heart out. While filming the documentary, Leola and I would catch each other’s eye and she would beam at the camera. I would have a hard time finding a shot of her not smiling! Leola was warm and kind to anyone she met. Only three days before Leola passed, Denise filmed her singing Jingle Bells for the upcoming Music Mends Minds holiday concert to be aired on Zoom December 5th. Here is a preview of her performance and one of my images of her gorgeous smile.
