Lenora Adeline (Kirschenmann) Buck entered her permanent home on August 26, 2021, to be with Jesus her Savior.

Lenora was born on the family farmstead near Medina, ND on October 15, 1931 to Theodore and Pauline Kirschenmann. She attended country school through the 7th grade when the family moved to Gackle, ND where she graduated from the 8th grade. The family returned to the farm after one year and Lenora attended Medina High School, graduating in 1949. Being on the farm she learned to be a cowgirl, herding cattle and sheep and learning a good work ethic working side by side with her dad. She also learned how to cook and take care of a household from her mom.

After graduation Lenora went to Jamestown, ND, to attend Jamestown Business College and worked at the Crippled Children's School (now known as Ann Carlson School) for two years. It was here she met the love of her life, Arnie Buck whom she married in Jamestown on July 6, 1951.

In 1956 the family moved to Bismarck where Arnie accepted a job working for ND State Government. In 1960 the family returned to Fargo and Lenora went to work for Northwestern Bell/US West/Qwest retiring in 1990. After life at the Bell system, she did temporary assignments at Lutheran Health Systems and American Specialty Foods and in 1993 started part-time at Financial Planning Network (Now known as Ohio National Financial Services) until 2021.
