Lena had the most enjoyment when her family was seated around her kitchen table. Sharing good food, great conversation, and most of all laughter. For Lena, the best start of any day was sharing a cup of coffee with her Tia Lupe Beltran.
She had an eye for decorating. She loved the mountains, anything blingy, bright colors, and used her decorating skills to turn anything into beauty.
She enjoyed listening to music, going to the casinos, and was a collector of many things, she especially loved Indian dolls, recipes, and dishes.
