Lenora met her husband Harry at Natatorium Park on July 4th and was married in 1940 at the age of 19. They lived in Grand Coulee, California, and later returned to Spokane. Lenora was a wonderful homemaker for her family. She loved children and helped in Lincoln Grade School in the 1960’s. She was there so much the janitor told her, “you should bring down a cot to sleep on, you practically live here.” She also worked as a Sunday School teacher at First Covenant Church and as a Vacation Bible School teacher for many decades. Lenora’s entire life was dedicated to Jesus and His teachings. It showed in her kindness, thoughtfulness, and self-sacrifice towards others. She loved singing about Him in her home.
