She was an inspiration to everyone she knew, always full of energy and never complaining. Mema as her grandchildren affectionately called her was irreplaceable to the countless lives she touched. Lena enjoyed life to the fullest especially spending time with her family and friends, cooking, crocheting, dancing, singing, working in the yard, solving crossword puzzles and just keeping up with everyone in general.
