I always have a smile in my heart when I think of my dear Aunt Lenore. I told her that she always reminded me of the queen...she laughed but it was true.

I had Mrs Ward as a teacher in several business classes at LBC in '73-'75. She was always encouraging and caring. What a lovely lady. Blessings to her family...

My precious Aunt Lenore leaves behind a legacy of her love and I am so thankful that God gave her to our family! This picture is the way I remember her! She was so joyful and always brought a "bright light" to our family gathering, usually in Fairhope or Gulf Shores! Thank you, Lord, for the wonderful memories of my amazing Aunt Lenore!

A lovely, thoughtful woman, who, along with her husband Jim, raised a fine family and were people everyone on Mimosa Circle were proud to have as neighbors.
