After a six-month battle with blood cancer, she joined her Lord. Drena always said there is only one way “Jesus.” She had planned to become a chaplain to give back to God and her community.

Drena was a daughter, mother, wife, grandmother, sister, friend and nurse, and will be forever missed and loved. We will miss your loving smile, and all the joy you brought to our lives. We were all blessed and better people to have known you. We thank all of you who gave so generously in love, prayer and support during her fight with cancer.
