"Along wit h thousands of others, the Stewart family moved to California from Texas during the Great Depression. Lena pitched in, always doing her share to help ease the financial burden for the large family. She worked in the packing houses of th e large fruit companies, packing oranges and olives. She spent her money not on ly on necessities for her brother and sisters, but for what many at the time co nsidered a luxury--new furniture for the family home.

"During her time off, Lena spent time doing what most young people did--enjoying the company of her f riends. She ran around with her girl friend Roxy Reese regularly, and Roxy int roduced her to her brother, Carthel. They found they had much in common--so mu ch so that they were married September 16, 1935, when Lena was twenty. Their s on, Larry, was born November 17, 1936. Their marriage was a short one, however. Carthel died November 10, 1941, leaving Lena to raise their son alone.

"Le na was a product of her day as well as being ahead of her times in many respect s. She was a patriot in every sense of the word. During World War II, she help ed build war planes to win the war. She was justifiably proud that she had don e her part to keep the world safe from Hitler and his ilk. As a widow, she wor ked full time, sometimes more so, not just to put food on the table, but to bet ter herself as well. She attended talioring and design classes and did alterati ons at home to bring in extra money. This fostered a life-long love for sewing and other handicrafts which she continued until just a few months before her de ath. It also blossomed into a business decades down the road, when she owned h er own fabric shops.

"As a widow, Lena was extremely busy, but not too busy to notice a handsome man, Ed Launder, where she worked at Standard Oil. She de cided he would make Larry a good father and the couple was married November 23, 1945, just after Larry's ninth birthday. Ed later adopted Larry, changing Lar ry's last name from Reese to Launder. Lena and Ed never had any children, but E d loved Larry as if he were his own biological child.

"Lena and Ed owned an orange and avacado grove in Yorba Linda , California . In later years, she often would remark that the fruit she saw in the stores were nothing like the ones they shipped out; she considered them equal to the cull oranges and avaca does they would throw away.

"During the mid 1950's, Larry met and ulitmatel y married the love of his life, Marilyn Bleininger. Lena often remarked on wha t a wonderful daughter-in-law she had been blessed with and she was thrilled wh en, in 1960, Larry and Marilyn had a son named Michael. A daughter, Julie, joi ned the picture two years later and Lena's family was complete for nearly twent y years until Mike and Julie were old enough for families of their own.

"Th e Launders moved from Yorba Linda to Borrego Springs in thge late 1960's. Lena loved the desert and everything about it. This was to be Ed's final home howeve r. He succumbed to cancer in 1975, leaving Lena a widow once again. She never remarried, preferring to travel worldwide, visitng such diverse areas as the Ho ly land and China. She also traveled closer to home, touring the deep South's antebellum homes and sailing down the Mississippi River on a paddle wheeler. Sh e never tired of telling of the places she'd been, and one of her greatest thri lls was being able to walk on the Great Wall of Ch Parents: John Burleson STEWART and Beulah Myrtle Mae WILLIAMS.
