Leonore mentored hundreds of her students while teaching elementary and middle school gym and ancient history in the Huntington Woods and the Berkley school districts. She had retired with 15 years of teaching at the district. After meeting her second husband Dr. Irving Bernstein, she had a wonderful life and traveled the world and finally had a chance to visit the ancient sites and ruins of Rome and Greece which she taught in her history classes. Her students became world recognized economists, doctors, educators, entrepreneurs and business men and women under her tutelage. Her emphasis on higher education and athletics motivated her children and grandchildren to become excellent students and athletes themselves while earning advanced degrees. She was a trail blazer for women's rights and education, gaining her degree in social work from Wayne State University in 1946, when women rarely attended college. She added her teaching degree in the 1960s, where she taught Sunday school at Temple Israel and Young Israel Nursery School. She started her public school teaching career at Burton Elementary in Huntington Woods, MI. She was an avid golfer and enjoyed the camaraderie of her friends and family on the links.
