She had six siblings: Della, John, Bobby, David, Kathy and Michael. Early years were spent by Lenora in Paintsville, Ky. where she was a true “coal miner's daughter,” since her dad worked in the coal mines. The family moved to Pennsylvania, then to Gilead, where she grew into her teens. Roger, her eternal companion, started teaching at Gilead High School the summer after her graduation. They met, dated for two weeks, were engaged, married and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. Last May they celebrated their 50th anniversary.

As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, she served with Roger as a senior couple in the New York, Rochester Mission. Throughout her life she served in nearly every church ward and branch position possible.

Lenora enjoyed working in her yard, planting roses, dates with her husband, B.Y.U. football; she loved giggling and reading stories to her grandchildren and spending holidays - especially Christmas - with her family.
