Lenore was born on October 24th, 1923 to Martin and Lillian (Cousins) Willey in Lead, South Dakota. Her father Martin came over from Cornwall England and the couple raised Lenore in Lead while he was an employee at Homestake Mining Company. Lenore graduated from Lead High School in 1941 and went to a Conservatory Music School in Chicago and graduated from there. Lenore was quite an accomplished piano player later, teaching private piano lesson in her home. Music and a passion for her pets were her two main loves. She married William Hart in 1958. Lenore and her mother owned and operated a miniature golf course in Spearfish for many years.
She is survived by several cousins including, Gary Johnson of Santa Anna, California and Becky McGraw of Dearborn Heights, Michigan and special friends Mary Geersema and Sylvia Follum of Spearfish.
May you rest in peace Lenore and God bless you.
