    LeNora was born June 22, 1915 on the family farm in rural Joice, Iowa, the daughter of Nels E. and Mary (Suby) Fjeld.  She graduated from Fertile High School in 1934 and then attended Iowa Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Iowa, where she obtained her teachers certification.  She taught in rural school.
    LeNora married Lawrence Ouverson on June 22, 1938 at the Beaver Creek Lutheran Church, rural Joice.  They farmed the rural Fertile area and she continued to live on the farm after her husband’s death in 1950.  In 1965 she moved to Forest City and later Clear Lake and in 1973 to her present home.
    She enjoyed playing Rook, croquet, hide the thimble with the grandkids, going on picnics and visiting with friends and neighbors.  Her visitors enjoyed her good homemade bread and pastries, especially her pies.  At Christmas time they especially enjoyed her good Lefsa, Krumkaka and many of her cookies.  She was the person who made the Roomegrot, and did much of the other preparation necessary when the whole Field family gathered at the family farm for Christmas Eve.  She was very proud of her Norwegian Heritage.
    She was a member of Fertile Lutheran Church.
