Senora Moen, 90, formerly of Lake Mills, Iowa, died Wednesday, December 15, 2010, at Glenhaven Nursing Home in Glenwood City, Wisconsin.

Senora Olina Moen was born May 10, 1920, the daughter of Alfred G. and Clara (Martinson) Thompson. She was baptized and confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Scarville, Iowa, and grew up on a farm east of Kiester, Minnesota. She graduated from Scarville High School in 1938.

On June 30, 1939, she was united in marriage to Orville K. Moen at the parsonage in Scarville. Together, they farmed for many years. In 1950, they moved to Lake Mills, Iowa, where they spent the rest of their married life.

In July of 2008, Senora moved to Boyceville, Wisconsin, and lived with her daughter, Mary, so she could be close to her family. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. For the last year, Senora resided at the Glenhaven Nursing Home in Glenwood City, Wisconsin.

Senora was active at Salem Lutheran Church where she was Secretary and President of the Ladies Aid Society, a Sunday School Teacher, and a Luther League Advisor. She served on the Church Counsel, sang in the choir, worked on The Informant, and faithfully attended Circle and WELCA. She was also a quilter.

In the community, she worked with the Heart and Cancer Societies and the scouting program. In addition, she acted as a Welcome Wagon hostess. Honored for their community efforts, she and Orville were named Grand Marshalls of the July Jubilee. After working twenty years at the Lake Mills Telephone Company, she continued to work part-time for several businesses.

In her free time, she enjoyed scrap booking, compiling photo albums, golfing, crocheting, playing cards and having coffee with friends and family. Her Grandchildren and great-grandchildren played a very special role in her life. She always loved her family.

Survivors include her son, Tom (Ruth) Moen, of Green Valley, Arizona; her daughter, Mary (Wayne) Blaser, of Boyceville, Wisconsin; three grandsons, Bryan (Christa) Blaser, Rick (Tiffany) Blaser, and Jon (Molly) Blaser; ten great-grandchildren, Emily, Elizabeth, Brett, Brooklynn, Michaela, Morgan, Andrew, Miley, Merisa and Isabelle.
