She was born on a farm west of Hazelton, ND on September 18, 1930 to Karl and Rosina (Ohlhauser) Fried and grew up on a farm south of Driscoll, graduating from Driscoll High School in 1949. She taught in a one room school house in Excelsior Township after graduation.
She married Leonard Roemmich from Driscoll on March 30, 1951, after which they lived for a short time near Arena, ND.

They rented a farm by Moffit for two years before moving to the Roemmich Family Farm in the fall of 1958, where they raise their family: Linda, Laura, Lana and Leonard Jay.
Leona was busy on the farm: milking cows, raising stock cows, hogs, sheep, chickens and helping in the field. She provided her family with delicious food, sewing clothes, support, comfort, LOVE and as a prayer warrior. She never missed an opportunity to play dice or pinochle.
Living in Bismarck after selling the farm in 1985, she worked at Missouri Slope Nursing home as a seamstress; returning to live in Steele in 1994.
