Lena Mae Willard

We send our love and prayers to the family. Dr. and Mrs. Willard were dear friends of our families at Central Baptist Church in Miami. Dr. Willard performed our marriage in 1967. Lena Mae was God's gift as a pastor's wife. She inspired so many and was so talented in a myriad of ways. Both of our families loved the Willard's. We know Lena Mae will be missed, but we rejoice in knowing she is with her Lord and Savior. With love, Norman and Kitty Childers

My new life in Christ began under the prayers of Mrs Willard! Heaven is rejoicing to have her home

I was 13 or so when the Willards came to Central. I grew and developed as a Christian under their guidance and teaching. My love of mission work was encouraged and nurtured through the GAs and then YBW. Mrs Willard was deeply involved with the mission work and training.

My husband and I were both born and raised at Central Baptist church in Miami Florida under the guidance and love of Lena Mae and Conrad Willard. Lena Mae instilled in me a tremendous love for mission, missionaries, a love that I have been able to pass on to my daughter Caitlyn Carlile Bolan who is now involved with the church plant in Medford Massachusetts. My fondest memories of both Lena Mae and Conrad are the times our youth group spent at their lake home in Florida. Lena Mann will...

My mother, Doris Derrough, felt so blessed that she and Lena Mae had such a wonderful, loving friendship during their time together at The Forum. Their relationship was instant, as if they had known each other all their lives. Lean Mae was a joy and a shining light to all who she met.
