Lena loved family gatherings. She was very talented in crafts, floral arranging, cooking, sewing, and ceramics. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in Primary, Young Womens, and Relief Society. She served in the Meadow Branch Relief Society for five years.
Lena is survived by two children, Karen Hauck (Kent) and Randy Thomas (Melody); 11 grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband and a son, Paul Michael, and daughter-in-law, Sharlene.
