Born on April 13,1943, in Johnson City, Tennessee, Lena was the youngest of 11 children and relocated to Orlando at the age of 10. Lena was a graduate of Boone High School. On October 20, 1962, she married the love of her life, Maurice Lee Davis, beginning a devoted marriage that spanned decades and was filled with love, friendship, and family.
Lena was a talented artist whose creativity brought beauty and joy to those around her. She had a passion for cooking, painting (both on canvas and rocks), and creating meaningful memories with the people she cared for most. Nothing brought her greater happiness than spending time with her beloved husband, who welcomed her with open arms into heaven.
Lena will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Leah Marie Pardee (Terry O’Connor) and Kimberly Lynn Davis; her grandchildren, Ian McHale Casey, Evan Laurence Pardee, and Davis Ryan Pardee; along with many extended family members and cherished friends whose lives were enriched by her kindness, warmth, artistic spirit, and great food.
