Leta better known as Granny, was born September 2nd, 1933 in Colorado, to the late Earl and Leona Orndorff. She moved to Salina in 1960 with her husband and three boys and two years later had a daughter. She worked several different jobs in her life the last being in a caregiver role of some capacity. Be it cleaning, cooking, companionship or odds and ends like patching holes in clothes or throwing shoes at cars to make them start when they didn't want to. She made sure everyone around her was fed, and she didn't waste food. She was a tough woman who survived alot throughout her life having typhoid fever, covid and all the world threw at her between here and there. She was a great cook, and there wasn't a stain she couldn't get rid of. If it wasn't Granny clean it wasn't clean!
