They farmed and ranched together along with their son. Due to health reasons, they moved to Lemmon in 2010. Lena and Gordon enjoyed over 60 years on the ranch.
Lena enjoyed playing cards, cooking, baking the best pumpkin and rhubarb pies, and was especially proud to teach her granddaughters how to make Angel Food Cake from scratch.
