The daughter of William Toy and Clara (Stage) Criner was born April 23, 1928, in Haskell. Leola was raised on a farm near Coweta with 5 sisters and 2 brothers. At an early age of approximately 14 years old she gave her heart to the Lord. She had a desire to help others to the Lord and sent all of her life playing her accordian and singing in churches across the country. She first evangelized with her sisters, Wilma and Mildred, for approximately 3 years before marrying her preacher man, Loyd Hubbard on May 18, 1951, in Claremore.Together they pastored many churches across the country and impacted the lives of those that knew them. She loved to cook and provide for her family. One of her favorite hobbies was picture taking. She would take a picture of nearly everyone if they stood still long enough. Leola composed at least 50 gospel songs and wrote several poems. The last church service she attended she was still doing what she loved so well-singing and playing her accordian.
