She attended university while in her 50s and obtained her degree in Child Development. Lena was an avid reader, and also enjoyed travelling, camping and fishing with family and friends. Her main love was children, and three generations of them were always welcome in her home. In her retirement years she wintered in Florida with her daughter Jeanette's family, enjoying many trips to Disney World, ever the child herself! In her final years, Lena lived in Richmond Gardens Senior Complex, and enjoyed making many new friends there. We thank all you for making her so welcome. The family would like to thank the nursing staff at Victoria Hospital, especially Charlotte and Lisa, also to Mike, Huegette, Jennifer and Denise at St. Boniface Hospital. Also thanks to the staff of the Pastoral Care of St. Boniface Hospital.
