October 10, 2020 at 9:00 pmI am so sorry to read of Lenor’s passing. I have such fond memories of when she first started coming to the Wantage United Methodist Church. I loved visiting her home and seeing all the art so beautifully displayed. It was a gift and privilege to know her. God bless you all.

September 9, 2021 at 11:59 pmDue to the pandemic, the news of Lenore’s passing took awhile to reach me. I attended Wantage UMC with Lenore, and I adored her. She was the consummate lady and always conducted herself with style and much grace. She was always a joy to talk to, and she was sorely missed by our congregation when she could no longer attend services. I had thrown her an 80th birthday party at the church and I will never forget how excited she had been. She was a true lady in every sense of the word. This world’s sparkle has dimmed since her passing. She always shined.
