Those left to cherish her memory include her son, Tony Lovejoy and his wife Carmelita; her daughter-in-law, Linda (Eddie); grandchildren, Charles E. “Eddie” Lovejoy III and his wife Jessica, Robert “Rob” Lovejoy and his wife Diann, Tricia Lovejoy and partner Tina Stinson, Toni Cole and her husband Dillon, and Tevin Lovejoy; great-grandchildren, Cayden Lovejoy, Noah Lovejoy, and Paisley Cole; along with a host of nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice Care of Charleston for the care, kindness, and compassion they provided to Lena and her family over the past several months.
