    Lena was a special inspiration to fellow workers and more importantly, she set an example as to what a supportive and caring friend should be. My condolences to all of her family that she loved so very much.

    Lena was one of my Mother’s good friends, played on the intercity team and her husband (Doggy) played golf with my Dad and probably did the brick work on my house. Judging from the fun they had back in the 60’s, the fact that she played golf until her 90’s, and the multiple grand children and great and great-greats, I’d say she lived a super life with no regrets and left us without leaving anything undone. What a great person. Scott Bess

    I worked with Lena at D and H Drug Store years ago. What a great lady. She lived a life most of us hope for. Blessings to her family.

    I met Lena in 1965 when I went to work for D and H. What a sweet, kind, FUN lady. She taught me a lot while I was there: a real mentor. I thought the world of her. So many people are better for having known her. My sympathy to all her family whom she loved so much.
