Tena I. York

Tena was a devoted and loving mother. She was very proud of her family and was excited to become a "Grammy" to her 2 grandchildren and her grandpuppy Angel. Tena loved holidays and family get-togethers; any chance to spend time with her family was important to her. Tena ​was known for her feisty, yet good sense of humor. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her.

Tena leaves behind her two children: Ken (Peggy) York, and Julie York; her two adored granddaughters Rebecca and Rachel York; her brother Jim (Pat) Minard; loving niece and nephews; and many dear friends.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to her caretaker Pat from BestCare and the hospice caretakers at JourneyCare for the care and compassion extended to Tena during her final days.
