Visiting at Thibodaux Funeral Home, Thibodaux, on Friday, Feb. 15, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Visiting resumes at the funeral home Saturday from 9 a.m. until religious service at 10 a.m. Interment in St. John Episcopal Cemetery, Thibodaux. Lenno was the adored father of Steven Kelley Powell, of Thibodaux, and John Len Powell, of Gonzales; and proud grandfather of Trevor, Tanner and Taylor Powell, all of Thibodaux. Lenno was the center of the family universe. He loved his daughters-in-law, Denise and Bernadette, as though they were his own daughters. He cherished his brother-in-law, Bill Kelley, and his wife, Sue, and his sister-in-law, Audrey Powell, as family along with sister-in-law, Janet and husband Robert DesJardins, of Chapel Hill, N.C. In the community, he joyfully celebrated his brotherhood with a galaxy of treasured friends. Lenno was the dear uncle of Nancy Gill, Chris Powell, Robert Powell and Kari Kirby, all of Jackson, Ala., Brian Kelley, of San Diego, Andrea Andraschko, of Anchorage, Alaska, and Bill Des Jardins, of Burlington, Vt. In all ways, with joy and gratitude, Lenno patterned his life to that of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Lenno was a native of Malcolm, Ala., where he was ordained to the gospel ministry at age 18 after graduating from Citronelle High School. He was the second son of John Snowden and Maude Jones Powell, who along with his brother, Robert Carey Powell, preceded him in death. Lenno proudly regarded his education and never missed a single day of attendance from first grade through earning a B.A. degree from Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss., and claiming a T.Ed. degree at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He was a good scholar and a popular campus leader, voted most outstanding freshman. His classmates also voted Lenno a campus favorite all four of his college years. He was named to the National Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He served as president of the Baptist Student Union while at college and his classmates voted him most handsome man on campus. Mississippi Baptists twice commissioned Lenno as a student summer missionary, where he served in New Mexico and Nevada with the Pima and Papago Indians. He also served a second summer in Hawaii. Lenno preached in countless churches throughout Mississippi during his college days and served Holmes Junior College as its Baptist Student Union director before entering the seminary. Lenno met Patsy at Mississippi College and they enjoyed a four-year courtship, crowned with a long and happy marriage. In June 2006, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with their family. Their golden day was highlighted by an exchange of poems from earlier anniversaries and Lenno's gift to Patsy of a golden coin, which Lenno had forgotten, had been foretold to Patsy in anniversary poetry 50 years earlier. Lenno loved being a Christian father to his sons, Steven and John, and fondly guided them through the rites of passage to adulthood. Lenno baptized his sons into the family of God, and officiated in the Christian marriages of Steven to his lovely wife, Denise, and son John to his beautiful wife, Bernadette. Among his most prized accomplishments, Lenno counted the opportunity of teaching his sons to be gentlemen, to be honest, to accept responsibility and to be industrious. Lenno sponsored and helped coach his sons' summer baseball teams, taught them how to water ski, how to fly kites, how to ride a bike and the skill of motocross. John and Steven, along with precious grandsons Trevor, Tanner and Taylor, finessed the art of hunting and fishing at Lenno's side. Touring the St. Johns River in Florida, Lenno, with son John and best friends Bud Cotton and George Sherwood made angling history when all four caught championship-size bass,fulfilling their boyhood dreams. And although Lenno was Alabama born, his family taught him to be a Louisiana man. Sons John and Steven, after graduating as engineers from LSU and becoming LSU Fighting Tiger fans, celebrated their father's own rite of passage into the Purple and Gold. Mr. Powell graduated from the seminary with honors and served as president of the student body. His letter to the future Class of 2059 is enclosed in the cornerstone of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Chapel along with letters written by Dr. Leo Edlemann, president of the seminary, in 1959. During his ministry, Lenno was pastor of Ellison Ridge Baptist Church, Louisville, Miss., Ruth Baptist Church, Brookhaven, Spring Creek Baptist Church, Kentwood, and First Baptist Church, Thibodaux. Mr. Powell founded many churches, including University Baptist Church in Thibodaux. Lenno was a popular pulpiteer, preaching revivals and Louisiana Baptist Convention special meeting sermons. After his retirement from the ministry, Mr. Powell carved a successful career in the real estate industry. As a real estate broker, Lenno served the state of Louisiana as chairman of the Louisiana Real Estate Commission during the administration of Gov. David Treen. At one time, Mr. Powell developed five important subdivisions in north Lafourche Parish. Mr. Powell was a past president of the Bayou Board of Realtors. During the past 18 years, Mr. Powell concentrated his expert land talents as a real estate appraiser and consultant. Always civic minded, Mr. Powell loved the community of Thibodaux. He was a member and officer of Thibodaux Kiwanis Club, and held membership in Rotary International, serving as program director for many years. Lenno was a member and past president of Nicholls State University Century Club. Mr. Powell, along with his good friend Pearce Didier, was an early founder and officer of Thibodaux Chapter of Ducks Unlimited and held a long membership in the Coastal Conservation Association. Lenno served faithfully on the board of directors of the Bayou Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. His business office was frequently visited by countless numbers of friends and associates who sought Lenno's advice. Nature lovers, Lenno and wife Patsy were especially fond of Louisiana live oak trees. Look carefully and you will see their oak groves all along Bayou Lafourche. In lieu of flowers, Lenno can be remembered by gifts to the children's education resource Wisdom Rocks! P.O. Box 1409, Thibodaux, LA 70302.
