They were married for 35 years.

The Travises then moved to Lincoln, Massachusetts where they raised three children, numerous cows, chickens, and giant Flemish rabbits. Lenore continued her spirit of volunteering on many diverse fronts. Some of these include Revels, The Shady Hill School, The Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence, Planned Parenthood, The Farm School, the Food Project, Save a Dog, and Codman Farm.

Lenore embraced all faiths and never missed an opportunity to arrange a gathering with her large group of family and friends who were collected from diverse places and backgrounds.
