I’m so glad I saw Lenore’s obituary. I worked with Jonette for many years and got to know her quite well. She was a very special person and a great parent to work with as well. I quickly learned to love her. Condolences to Jonette and Diane and the rest of the family. From Dianna Morwood
So very so for the families loss. Lenore was a great person, loved by many and will be missed by many.
I loved going to the elementary office because I got to see her. She will always be one of my most favorite. I remember one day riding by her home on my bike. I fell as my bike had hit a small pipe in the road and scraped my hands and knees. She came rushing out took me inside fixed me up with bandaids and some milk and warm cookies she had just baked. I will never forget her kindness she sowed towards me. Sure do love this lady😢
Oh what a beautiful soul now goes to Heaven! Your beautiful smiles shall be missed! Hugs and loves….see you in the other side someday.
I love Lenore. She lived a long, good life and was a blessing to me as well as many others. She served me as a young woman and I looked at her as an example. She always showed love, concern and kindness to me. I am sorry for our loss but happy for her and the wonderful reunions she must be having. Love and prayers to the family, Shala Sorensen

Lenore was a wonderful person! You always felt better having enjoyed her company. She will be missed.
We love Lenore and her family! I visited her home as a “home teacher” many years ago and always left feeling uplifted. Her life was not easy but she always looked outward and upward. Condolences to her family.
