Passed away peacefully on April 1, 2021 at the age of 97 years. Lena's family is comforted knowing she is now with the Lord and is reunited with her loving husband Leo, (1994). Cherished mother of Mary (John Borg), Anne (Dennis Lorenz), Sal (Catherine) and Joe (Paula). Lena is survived by her 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Mom was a woman of deep faith, an attentive and caring mother and grandmother, a loyal friend and a generous person. Growing up she was our cheerleader, role model, advisor and the best cook ever. She loved to travel and was a devoted wife ("Miss Perfect") to Leo for 48 years. We truly won the parent lottery with mom and dad.
Our family is forever grateful to all the staff at Bethany Lodge for their comforting and compassionate care and support of our mother since 2007. We couldn't have chosen a more loving home for her.
A private family visitation will be held on Tuesday at the Kane-Jerrett North York Funeral Home (6191 Yonge St. South of Steeles) followed by a private funeral Mass at St. Bonaventure's Catholic Church on Leslie St. Interment to follow at Mt. Hope Cemetery.
If desired, in memoriam donations may be made to Bethany Lodge Foundation or Canadian Food For Children.
