She was born July 14, 1928, in Philadelphia, Indiana to the late Carl Milton Sr. and Pearl Lenora (Griffith) Graham. She was baptized at the young age of 9 years and was a faithful follower of Jesus her entire life.

She graduated from the Old Fortville High School in 1947. She married Donald Gene Hayes July 11, 1947. Lenora was a housewife most of her life while taking care of her daughter Ruthie. She operated My Doll Hospital and D&L Antiques in Fortville.
She is survived by her daughter Sue Ann (Joe) Ferrell of Fortville, Indiana, and sons Michael "Don" (Rebecca) Hayes of Fortville, Indiana, and Timothy Joe (Toni) Hayes of Converse, Indiana.
