  Triena was raised on a Guernsey Dairy farm where she learned hard work and her love for the outdoors.  She was a 1973 graduate from Spencerville High School.  Triena moved to Lima and after a few jobs she ended up working for the "best restaurant" in Lima, Casa Lu al.  She loved working for the Venturella family, and she dedicated 34 years to serving others and waitressing at Casa Lu al, she always took pride in serving her customers with a friendly, energetic smile.  Triena enjoyed spending time with her two boxers and her "Kahle".  She cherished her husband and their time together working around the yard and gardens, entertaining family and friends around the pond and taking rides on the Harley.  She was also very fond of her dear friend Joanne Schimmoeller, who she would spend many hours with shopping, working on new decorating ideas and sharing friendship.  Triena shared her decorating talents at the Casa Lu al, where she would decorate it for every season, she especially  loved decorating it at Christmas.
