Family Information

I have been married to John Lenahan and we have three adult children. Together we have dedicated our lives to raising a family and serving the Leesville-Anacoco areas since 1984.

Personal Information

I love learning how to do new things, playing with my pups, keeping up with the happenings in the lives of my adult children, and visiting with friends and family. In my spare time, I work on my personal blog mslendahand.com where I enjoy posting tidbits of information I have gleaned along my educational journey.
