Our hearts are broken as we share that April Lenart, age 40, passed away on November 17, 2025, after bravely battling a chronic lung disease for her entire life. April fought every day with a strength and determination that inspired everyone who knew her. Though she faced unbelievable challenges, she lived with joy, love, and an adventurous spirit that touched countless lives. April was the kind of person who made the world brighter just by being in it. She loved amusement parks, concerts, family gatherings, and any new adventure she could experience. She was a devoted daughter, a loving sister, a treasured aunt to her three nephews, and a loyal friend. She also adored her pets—dogs Annabelle and Bella, and cats Cosmo and Shadow—who were her constant companions. Despite her lifelong illness, April never lost her will to live or her ability to find beauty in the world around her. In her final months, she found peace and comfort through prayer, something she had long searched for.

Because of her chronic medical condition, April was never able to obtain life insurance, making her final expenses an overwhelming burden for the family—especially for her mother, Joyce, who dedicated her life to caring for April and was set to retire at the end of this month so she could continue supporting her increasing needs. We are asking for support to help cover April’s cremation and final expenses, allowing her family to give her the peaceful, dignified farewell she deserves. Any amount—no matter how small—will be deeply appreciated. Your support will help ease the financial burden during an unimaginably painful time and allow the family to focus on grieving, healing, and honoring April’s memory. If you feel moved to give, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Every gesture of kindness means more than words can express. Thank you for helping us honor April’s life, her courage, and the love she shared so freely.

You are invited to join us for a celebration of life on December 13, 2025, from 3 pm to 9 pm at the Clarence Iowa, City Park Pavilion.
