Marguerite K. Lenas - Merrell, age 77, formerly of Wayne, passed Saturday, May 9, 2015.

She was born in the family home in the Bronx, New York, she also lived in Englewood, Tenafly, and Wayne New Jersey during the time she was married to Spyros Lenas. She later lived in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

Marguerite was a loving person who often put the needs of others before her own. While living in Florida she donated much of her time and talents to the Art Guild, served as President of the Women’s Club, volunteered with the Eyelets who helped beautify Treasure Island, and helped a local battered women’s shelter. Many will remember her love of knitting. She was always starting a new sweater, or helping others learn to knit. She had excellent people skills and was gifted with a personality that helped her as a gracious host of all kinds of parties and social events. She will be remembered as being a vivacious, feisty, fun loving, loyal person whose strength, tenacity, and will to do good positively influenced those around her. This love of others also translated into the animal world. She had as many as three dogs at a time and loved them all while also volunteering at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.


She was the loving mother of Constantine Lenas and his wife Erriette of Franklin Lakes, Spyros Lenas and his wife Fountain of Morristown, and Elizabeth Lenas of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Alexandra Parker and her husband Sean, Victoria Lenas, Aris Sclavounos, Spyros Sclavounos, and Alexis Donohue; much loved great-grandmother of Winter Victoria Parker and Zephyr Emerson Parker; dear sister of Christina “Tina” and her husband George Minakakis, and the late Arthur “Butch” Haniotis.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations, honoring Marguerite’s love of animals, to the ASPCA (click on the blue text to link to the ASPCA website) would be appreciated.
