My grandfather, Donald Noack, told me a story of how he bought furniture from Tex in the late 1970's this last September. He remembered the piece down to detail, and said, "Tex was larger than life, and a hard worker. Both him and Lenora were always around the church, helping however they could." On the Thursday before All Saints Day, I myself had the pleasure to meet Diane when she came to the church office to pay for the flowers her and her mother gave that Sunday in honor of Tex and those who had passed this last year. Diane shared with me that All Saints Day (Nov.1, 2015) would be Tex's 101 birthday. I didn't know Lenora or Tex, but talking with Diane that day, I knew they must have been special kind people to raise such a great and devoted daughter. They are finally together again, arm and arm behind the gates. Lots of Prayers and Love to the Beneke family, Stephanie Noack Mickey

Lenora first introduced me to the Pacesetters Sunday School Class at Axe Memorial United Methodist Church. I had dropped my son, Jim, at his Sunday School Class and John and Laura were safely in the nursery. I headed down the empty hallway, as I was a bit late, not really sure where I was going. As I approached the alcove there at a huge desk sat Lenora. She looked at me with her beautiful smile and said, "Are you looking for a Sunday School Class?" I responded yes and she stood up to take me around the corner, across the hall from what was then the church office, and now the Choir room, to the Pacesetters. As she opened the door, Ann Arrington, declared " It's my little neighbor!" We laughed and I was ushered into the classroom to learn that Lenora had taken me to her class. She was a sweet and gently lady with a beautiful smile and infectious laugh! She and Tex were a wonderful, loving and caring couple, who loved their family and church family. Tom and I are so glad that she introduced us to her Pacesetters Sunday School Class, where we became life long friends. We will miss you.. Our sympathies to Diane and family. Tom and Faye Cocke
