She was born in Crannagh, Co. Roscommon Ireland and immigrated to the U.S. in 1951. Lena lived life to the fullest. She met her adoring husband of more than 50 years, the late Thomas J Nurney while dancing to "The Tennessee Waltz". They started a family in Waltham before moving to Cape Cod where they raised three children in West Yarmouth. Lena attended Summerhill School in Ireland and earned her hairdressers license from Wilfred Academy in Boston.

Lena was an avid golfer, had the cutest golf clothes on the course and was proud of her three holes in one. She was an outdoor girl and loved gardening, family picnics at Grays Beach, walking the trails and bogs of Cape Cod, feeding the birds and biking around Cotuit Commons. Lena will be remembered for her laughing Irish eyes, quick wit and ability to fill a room with laughter.
