BIRTHDAY BASH Leila and family organized a birthday bash for her 90th a few years back, with a food truck and juggler, among other activities. Neighbors gathered on the lawn for a group picture. Some neighbors presented Leila, a puzzle whiz, with a custom puzzle later, depicting that scene and other vignettes from that day. (Photo: Emma Knowles Photography)

LEILA’S SANTA WONDERLAND Who needs a real chimney when Santa has the key to the house? Leila’s home is bedecked in Santas during the Christmas season, including these surrounding a faux red-brick chimney. The master storyteller delights children with her full-hearted tales of Santas, that preen in every shape and variety, in her Memorial Forest home. (Photo: Dylan Aguilar)

Leila’s neighbor Carol Gilmore, right, has made the seasonal across-the-street jaunt to Leila’s Santa “museum,” with her twins over many years. Her children, now college-aged, think of Leila as a grandmother.  (Photo: Dylan Aguilar)
