Boyer, Lena

Lena cooked meals for the children at the Mississauga First Nation Day Care Centre for over 30 years. She also volunteered her time to the Blessed Kateri Catholic Church on the Mississauga First Nation, performing various tasks. Lena spent her Sundays preparing large meals for her family, often using vegetables grown from her own garden. She especially looked forward to springtime when her and her husband William would head to the sugar bush to collect sap and boil it into maple syrup. She enjoyed bingo and played every Tuesday and Sunday. She had a positive outlook on life and was always ready and willing to lend a hand and help those in need.
