Leila Marie Hammel married Totten Kenneth Warfield, Sr. on August 2, 1947, at the Riverside Presbyterian Church in New York. His love for southern Arizona moved them to Tucson in 1947, where they resided in Polo Village, a World War II Veteran Village for married couples, and where she co-founded the Polo Village Nursery School and he served as the mayor. While he was at the University of Arizona pursuing a degree in Business, running for the University of Arizona track team, and resurrecting the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, they opened three Zesto ice cream stores while simultaneously building a family of four children: Totten Kenneth Warfield, Jr.; Thomas Kevin Warfield, Sr.; Susan Marie Warfield and Pamela Ann Warfield. They were married for 73 years.
Leila and Totten retired in 1982 and traveled the world visiting over 137 countries. They volunteered with the Perimeter Bicycling Association of America for 33 years, as well as 18 years with the Arizona Cancer Center. They were members at St. Mark's Presbyterian Church for over 60 years.
