Lena Ashworth

Lena M. Ashworth, 72, passed away peacefully In the early morning hours of Monday, Mar. 16, 2026.

Her infectious smile and playful spirit could light up any room she entered. She loved to laugh and had a gift for making others laugh right along with her. In Lena, we had our very own Annie Oakley … Strong spirited and for sure one of a kind!
