Leone Marie Johnson was born on September 9, 1924 to Carl and Elsie (Bjorklund) Johnson in rural Westfield, Iowa. She was raised on a farm and attended country school. She attended Westfield High School and graduated in 1942. After graduation she began working for Albert Hummel at the grocery store in Westfield. On June 16, 1946 she was united in marriage to Gene Dewey. They made their home on a farm outside of Westfield and farmed for a few years. They then sold the farm and moved into Westfield. Gene and Leone both began working at Swift packing house in Sioux City and in 1956, their family moved to Sioux City. Leone then worked at Johnson Biscuit Company for a few years before a long career working in the meat department at a grocery store in Sioux City. In 1969, they moved back onto the family farm outside of Westfield, which was previously owned by Leone’s and Gene’s parents. Leone continued to commute to Sioux City for work until the mid-1980’s when Gene’s health began to fail. Gene passed away on February 14, 1990. After his passing, Leone went back to work. She worked at Coil Craft until she retired at 75 years old. Leone was a talented basketball player in her youth and her love of the sport continued throughout her life. She would often play with her grandchildren and loved watching the Boston Celtics. She also loved bowling and playing pool.
