She went home to be with the Lord and lots of loved ones on Friday, Nov. 6, 2020 in Mesa, Arizona. She is survived by her daughters Alice and Tina; sons Winston, Ronnie, and Robert; her grandchildren Sheilah, Candy, Victor, Valerie, Andrew, Joshua, Layne, Kurt, Gary, Jonathan and Jaime; her brother Herbert; and sisters Janice, Sharon, and Mary; and many great and great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 77 years, Winston Carlyle; sons Donald Eugene, and Winston Gene; brothers Carl, Clyde, Jerry, and LaDon; sisters Nellie, Zelta, Priscilla, Lillian, and Donnie; and grandchildren Dennis and Nicole.
Lenora was the oldest of 14 children. She was like the "2nd mom" to many of them. She learned to cook, at age 4, on a wood cookstove while standing on an apple box to reach the top of the stove. She had to do laundry by using the washboard/scrub board. She grew up during the depression; thus, learning a lot of tricks, from her mother, on how to make food stretch to feed the family.
Services were held on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020 at Blue Ridge Christian Center in Lakeside. She was buried at Lakeside Cemetery alongside her beloved husband.
