Lenora Isaacson Schuricht

Lenora was born to Edwin and Katie Isaacson on a farm outside Scandia, Kansas in 1919. In 1946, she wed Arthur Schuricht in California. In the early 1950’s, they moved to Downey, where Lenora lived for 60 years.

Lenora’s life centered on her family and church. She and Art raised five children. Her survivors include all her children—Cindy (Britt), David (Susan), Becky (Tim); Trudy (Gerald); and Lois (Keith), seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Lenora was patient, generous, kind and, as she said, “tougher than you think.”

She loved God, her family, church, friends, and the world we all share. At age 99, with all her children present, she peacefully left this world for God’s loving embrace.

Her funeral was held at Messiah Lutheran Church on Nov. 17, 2018. She was buried next to Art at Rose Hills Cemetery. Memorials may be given to:
