Great grandchildren Destiny Minor, Shaelyn Trent, Kayne Trent & Capone Minor. Lena and her two sisters spent their formative years in a Grundy VA orphanage as their father voluntarily placed the girls there between wives, their brother was left behind as a valued worker. This placement created an unbreakable bond between the girls and helped form her values in life. Their father retrieved the girls & placed them with different families in the Gilbert area where she met her future husband at 13, married at 14 & was a mother by 15. A woman of deep faith, she was a loving soul who wished happiness to all she met and had zero envy. Lena worked in retail sales & spent the last 20 years at Keen Jewelers until it’s closure in 2007. There will be a family memorial service Labor Day weekend where she will be reunited to the Guyandotte. Reger Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
