Lenna was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints serving in many callings. She had a strong testimony of the gospel that was evident in her life as she influenced those around her. She spent thousands of hours doing genealogy, extraction of family history records, quilted blankets, crocheted hats and afghans, and gardening. She loved the Humanitarian effort, taught others to give and will not be forgotten for her work.

There is truly a joyous beyond words reunion in heaven as she meets with her husband, parents, sons and so many others that have gone on before her.
