Lena worked at Smiley's Clothing store in Roosevelt; Wing's, Brotherson's, and Larsen's - all the same grocery store, just the names changed, in Ft. Duchesne.

She enjoyed traveling, "snowbirding" in Arizona, attending family reunions, camping, and going on long rides with John in the mountains. She was a great Dutch oven cook and would take it with her every time she went to the mountains. She loved her family and being with them. She watched as many football, baseball and other sports games of her children and grandchildren as possible and she was proud of all of them.
