LENA MILLIGAN Obituary

MILLIGAN, LENA M. July 23, 1926 to Nov. 10, 2010 Lena was born in Boswell, PA as the 6th of 7 children. She wed her handsome sailor in 1943, and spent many happy years following him while he served his country. She made new friends wherever she was, and made sure they became old friends. An old fashioned good cook and devoted wife and mother, Lena will be missed by the big world she created around her. Lena was preceded in death by her parents and all of her siblings. Her loving husband, Frank, went to Heaven in 1980. Lena is survived by her children, Carol Ann (Dennis) and Randy, three grandsons, Scott (Shauna), Andy (Kristie) and Jeremy, and five great-grandchildren, Micah, Mia, Leo, Cameron and Logan. Memorial gifts may be sent to Westview Bible Church, 587 Delaware St. Imperial Beach, CA. 91932. She is at peace with our Lord, but she left a hole in our hearts. We love you, Nana.

Okinawa was a blessing for the Young family because that is where our Mother met a very dear friend, your Mom, and their friendship just kept growing over the years. I have enjoyed so much spending time with your Mom and just listing to all the stories she would share with us. I am so thankful we were able to spend some time with her in March when we were back in San Diego. Penny was still so sharp at cards. I feel it was a blessing listing to her talk about what Our Lord ment to her and her dedication to Him. I was just thinking about the reunion Mother and Penny must be having in the presence of our God. How Glorious! I just wanted you to know how much your Mom ment to me, she was a very special lady.
Our Prayers are with you,
Yvonne Dixon (Young)
