Born on December 26, 1924, to Antonio and Josephine Fontana, Lena lived a life full of vibrancy and joy.

A spirited and active individual, Lena was known for her love of social activities, whether it was engaging in lively card and domino games at the Heritage Grand clubhouse or dancing with her husband, Al, and friends at a private social club in her younger years.

Lena cherished her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, finding immense joy in spending time with her loved ones. Her family was her heart, and she delighted in the company of her daughter Carolyn Menn, her three grandchildren—Brian, Troy, and Zachary Menn—and her four great-grandchildren—Caine, Kalix, Alessandra, and Zachary John Menn.

A devout Catholic, Lena was a dedicated member of St. James Church in Port Arthur, TX, for most of her life and later attended St. Bartholomew’s in Katy, TX. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, guiding her with strength and grace.

Lena was preceded in death by her husband,

Al Doyle; her son, Kent Boutte; and her brothers, Basil and Joseph Fontana.

Her memory will be cherished by her surviving family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
