Lena Marie Applegate
Lena Marie Applegate passed from this life on September 21, 2021 in Pearland, TX. Lena was born in Marksville, LA to Louise and Marion Osborn on May 7, 1949.
She is preceded in death by her parents and husband Walter Applegate.
She is survived by her daughter, Tiffany Applegate; sisters: Amy Hill and Rene Naschke; nephews: Randy Rice, Jacob Rice, wife Kristen, Nathan Wagner, and numerous great nephews, nieces, and friends who were like family.
Lena had a love for children and it showed through her work and ownership of Applegate Farms Child Care. She loved her family, the outdoors, porch sitting and horses. Most of all she loved her daughter and sisters who were her best friends.
She had the most loving and giving personality and a smile we will always remember!

It does seem that great people are taken from us all too soon! She was great with children, and she loved them very much. Lena was loved and will be missed. We are praying for Lena Marie, and her whole family.
Miss Lena was a special part of our family and so many others❤ Sending Condolences and hugs, Lisa and Carmel White
May God of all comfort, comfort the family like only He can. Ms. Lena was a beautiful woman and we will truly miss her. Her Kroger Pharmacy store 353.
Ms.Lena was an amazing kind passionate warm-hearted woman my boys and I called our friend. We listened to her advice as if she were our grandmother. She always knew what to say to cheer someone up or make them feel better. I’m glad she’s in heaven and she suffers no more but Lord knows we will truly miss the sweet angel he gained. Prayers for all the family
I just learned of SWEET Lena’s promotion to Heaven. What a BLESSING she was to my children as they were growing up! She gave them affection and instruction, teaching them to ride horses and organizing “play days”’for them. When the Applegate barn was first built, her Tiffany, my kids, and occasionally others were allowed in the loft for classes and SO MUCH FUN!! I was THRILLED when she opened and later expanded her childcare center because I KNEW it would be amazing! Lena has left a legacy unmatched by few. I know she will be sorely missed! May God comfort those who have lost this SPECIAL lady, especially her family.
I just learned of Lena’s passing and it is so heartbreaking. She was such a huge part of my daughters lives- Maddie and Emma have so many memories of Lena and Applegate. I am so thankful to her and the home she created for so many children. She will live on forever within the children whose lives she touched. Thank you so much Lena and we will always smile when we think of you. Rest In Peace and may Tiffany and your family know how much you were loved.
I just learned of Lena’s passing this morning. She has been such a blessing to our family and I’m heartbroken that she is no longer here with us all but happy that she is in Heaven. She was definitely an Angel and I will always remember how she helped me with my boy’s when I first moved to Pearland. Prayers to all her family and friends. We’ll see you later sweet friend. ❤️
i miss you so must
