LENA MAE WHITE was born in Chester County, South Carolina on August 30, 1930 to the late Curry White and the late Mary McCullough of Edgemoor, South Carolina.

Lena would later meet Curtis Boyd Sr. who also resided in Chester County and they were united in holy matrimony on December 24, 1950, after which they would move to Buffalo, New York where they settled to raise a family.  Born out of this union the couple was blessed with three children, two sons, Curtis(Annette) Boyd, Jr and Bobby Boyd and one daughter, Jeraline Boyd.
