It is with great sadness we announce the graceful passing of our loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother early on Tuesday morning, July 28, 2020, at The Village of Riverside Glen, Guelph. Lena was born in Brentwood Nova Scotia on October 2nd 1928. She was the daughter of the late Alvin and Eleanor “Nonie” (Boomer) Stevens.

After high school Lena worked at Lewis’ in Truro N.S. After marrying she worked at Venus Pencil in Etobicoke, Ontario and when she was expecting her second child decided to stay home and raise her family full time. While looking after her children she also looked after many other children in her home. After the passing of her dear sweet husband, Richard, she worked for the Etobicoke School Board in the high school cafeterias. During that time she continued to look after many children at their homes while the parents went on holidays. This kept her very busy and active.

Lena was also lovingly called Angel, Blondie and Momma by her family. Throughout her years she enjoyed, bicycling, skating, cross country skiing, square dancing, line dancing, walking, sewing, knitting, crocheting, crafts, reading, puzzles and playing scrabble. She enjoyed many wonderful times at her cottage at Lake Dalrymple, Ontario. During her retirement she enjoyed many hours in her backyard gazebo and talking with her wonderful next door neighbours Joanna and Mark Lecznar and their family. Throughout the years Lena enjoyed her many trips traveling with family and friends. Her love of angels, owls and cabbage patch kids was known to many.
