Bertha "Lena" Menegus, 93 years old, passed away on Monday, June 27, 2016 in Belvidere, NJ surrounded by her loved ones. Born on March 12, 1923 in Passaic, NJ, she was the daughter of the late Julius and Corina (Pordon) Menegus. Lena was a longtime resident of White Township, NJ. She was a graduate of Belvidere High School Class of 1941. She worked for Celanese in Belvidere for many years and later the First Hope Bank in Hope, NJ. Lena was as avid gardener and managed her family farm after the death of her parents until she was in her 80's. She grew cabbages that weighed more than her and sunflowers that reached to the heavens. Lena was a farm girl at heart and had three pet ducks at the time of her passing; Sweet Pea, Rocco and Dean. She was an amazing knitter, needle pointer and seamstress. She loved to read and learn. Lena was a little lady who was often seen buzzing around town in her Big Blue Car. She was quirky and cute and everyone loved her. Lena was predeceased by her two brothers, Henry R. Menegus and Raymond J. Menegus; a nephew, Jeffrey J. Menegus. Surviving are two nephews, James H. Menegus and Raymond M. Menegus; a niece, Alice (Menegus) Williamson; four great-nephews, Robert D. Williamson, Jonathan P. Menegus, Robert J. Menegus and Larry J. Menegus. In the last years of her life, Lena suffered a stroke but had many happy years thereafter, thanks to the love, support and kindness of many. Lena's family would like to "Thank" all those who helped with her care and made her last years enjoyable.
