While she lived in Fairbanks she worked at Alaska Feed Co. and Denny’s. She was a member of the Potter’s House from 1987 until 1991 when she moved to Anchorage, where she has resided ever since.
Lena had worked at the Bible Book Store in Anchorage from 1992 to 1994. She enjoyed sewing, arts and crafts.
“Always smiling, never wavering in her faith. Lena’s struggles are over and she is in the arms of Jesus. Psalm 91,” wrote her father. “Lena, beloved daughter and sister. She took on adversity like a warrior and loved God like a child. We will miss you, dear heart.”
Lena is survived by her mother, Betty  (Willard) Means of Norman, Okla.; father, Dean (Nina) Davidson of Willow; brother and sister in-law, Kevin Davidson (Wendi) of Anchorage; sister and brother in-law, Stacy (Curtis) Smith of Anchorage; step-brother, David (Lesia) Martin of Anchorage; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
