Lena was born February 11, 1928 in Calmar, Alberta, Canada to Mary (Youney) and Nick Karbonik. She had made her home in the Valley of the Sun for the last 24 years. She loved baking, sports, tending her roses and playing bridge. Lena was a loving mother, devoted wife and a cherished friend to many. Lena's daughters Patricia and Deborah will miss her dearly and are filled with wonderful memories. Lena is survived by her adored daughters Deborah Christie, Reno, NV and Patricia Christie, and son in-law, Mike Carlson, Oakland, CA; sisters Nadia, Mary and Helen and brothers Nick and Richard.
