Lena was born in Fitchburg on March 11, 1921, a daughter of the late Oreste and Carmela (Giammarino) Guglielmi. She graduated from Fitchburg High School, and in her younger years worked for W.T. Grants. Lena enjoyed playing piano and was part of a musical group, where she met her husband Louis. They would have celebrated their 74th wedding anniversary on January 25th. She was very active in Saint Anthony’s Church, where she was not only a parishioner, but also on the finance committee.  Lena loved to travel and take cruises; some of her most treasured trips were to Italy.

The family would like to extend a most sincere thank you to the Montachusett Home Care and Alisha and Faith of the Catholic Charities for the exceptional care Lena received.
