Lenell received her education in Crowville and Baskin, LA, and was baptized on May 26, 1940. She attended the Methodist/Presbyterian church in Baskin for many years before joining First Baptist Church of Baskin, where she found joy in her Sunday school classes and worship services. She was also a dedicated member of the Baskin Women's Club, sharing her time and talents with others in her community.
Her passions included reading, crossword puzzles, and gardening. She found fulfillment in her work at the Franklin Parish Library, where she drove the bookmobile, spreading the joy of reading throughout the community. Lenell's commitment to education and literacy was evident in the impact she made on countless individuals.
In honor of her generous spirit, Lenell chose to donate herself to science upon her passing. Memorial contributions may be made to the First Baptist Church of Baskin or the Franklin Parish Library, causes close to her heart.
A private family memorial will be held at a later date to celebrate her life and cherish the wonderful memories she shared with those she loved. Lenell's presence, wisdom, and unwavering support will be deeply missed, but her love will continue to shine through the lives she touched.
Forever in our hearts, her story lives on.
