Benson was born June 28, 1941 on a farm near Beaver Crossing, Nebraska to John and Elsie (Eicher) Troyer, the youngest of eight children and went home to be with Jesus on Monday, November 30, 2020, at Bryan East Medical Center in Lincoln at the age of 79. As a young girl, she accepted Christ as her personal savior and was baptized at West Fairview Mennonite Church. Lela attended country school and later Milford High School and was a graduate of the class of 1959. On September 23, 1961 she was united in marriage to Gary Benson at the West Fairview Mennonite Church. They were blessed with two daughters, Lynette and Tamara. Before her marriage she was employed with Continental Trailways in Lincoln but her true passion was providing daycare to many, many children for over 33 years. She truly enjoyed raising her daycare children as if they were her own and has had lifelong connections with many of them. After retiring from daycare she worked part-time at Sister Act in Milford. Over the past several years she had spent countless hours volunteering for the Foster Care Closet and Macie’s Place, both in Lincoln. She was a member of the Beth-El Community Church.
