She was born April 23, 1931 just minutes before her identical twin sister, Lila, in Benkelman, Nebraska. Ila and Lila were the fifth and sixth children of Albert and Hattie Blecha. They attended Benkelman High School, where Ila graduated in 1949. Around that time, she met Roy League at the Rainbow Roller Rink and they were married in a double ceremony with Lila and Keith Manley on June 25, 1950 in Benkelman. That same day, the Korean War broke out and Roy was soon sent to serve his country. Ila lived and worked in Denver, Colorado while Roy was overseas. Once he was discharged, the couple returned to Stratton to start their family. Ila was proud to be a member of the Stratton community. She volunteered as the Librarian at the community library and worked at the hospital prior to its closure in 1975. As small business owners themselves, Roy and Ila were strong supporters of local businesses in Stratton and the surrounding area. Ila’s favorite things in life were her family, her dogs, and her community. Her grandchildren remember her as the dedicated grandmother who attended all of their concerts and sporting events, and ensured each of them made it to Lincoln every fall to cheer on the Huskers. They spent many lazy summer days reading books and toiling over massive puzzles with her. Ila’s great-grandchildren loved visiting Grammy and her dogs, and never left without getting a bowl (or two) of her homemade chocolate ice cream.
