Lena Faye Henderson Powell, 71, of Columbus, passed away November 3, 2022 in Indianapolis, surrounded by loved ones.
Lena was born May 30, 1951 in Columbus, the daughter of Paul and Edna Cohee Henderson.
Lena was devoted to God, and was a member of the First United Methodist Church for over 15 years. While a member of the church, she spent countless hours supporting church functions, and held a special place in her heart for the women’s group.

Lena loved spending time with her family and friends, and was a meticulous maintainer of her yard, especially on Sundays, which she did so for the glory of God. She was a lover of all things yellow, puzzle books, and also cherished her parakeet “Marky”, whom she sang “Jesus loves me” to everyday.
Lena is survived by her daughter; Amanda Powell-Zeller and husband Matthew Zeller of Muncie, Indiana, grandchildren; Isabel Zeller, Thomas Zeller, and Samira Zeller, brother; Mark Henderson of Hope, Indiana, sister; Ester Dutro, and countless nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
