Christena Ann Unger passed away Monday, September 6, 2021 in a local hospital with her husband of 40 years at her side. Tena was a beloved wife, devoted sister, and loyal friend. Tena was preceded in death by her parents Ginny and Bob Glass. She is survived by her husband Larry of Mt. Calm, TX; brothers, Steve & wife Doris Glass Lubbock, TX, Bill & Pam Glass of Attica, IN; sister, Cindy Rabideau of Timberville, VA; nieces, Caitlin Rabideau & Katie Gillham; and nephew, William Glass.
Tena was born September 23, 1955 at St. Mary’s hospital and grew up in Lubbock, Texas, attending Christ the King School from 1st grade through graduation. She attended Texas Tech majoring in Art. After graduation she and Larry married on June 27, 1981. Tena recently retired from James Hardie Building Products of Cleburne, Tx after many years of devoted service in the bookkeeping department where she had many friends and coworkers who will always remember her sense of humor and the honest way she approached life.
Tena loved all her animals: cows Sweet Pea, Too Sweet, and Sweetie Pie; and dogs Tut, Sophie, Cotton Sue, and Suzie Q. Tena loved reading and working with pottery and ceramics. A memorial will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to your local humane society in honor of Tena’s love of animal rescues and adoptions. The family would like to thank James Hardie Building Products for their kind words and support.

I am so sorry to hear this about Tena. I had worked with her at American Income Like for a few years
and also had the pleasure of still seeing & talking to her at church for a while at St Martin’s Catholic Church in Tours. We also worked together at our church picnic’s. Loved talking to her. My condolences & blessings to all her family
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Tena at Chrysler Technologies/Raytheon in payroll. I will always remember her as my mother was a huge “Murder She Wrote” fan and Tena had her sister Cindy send a T-shirt and script from the show. I really appreciated that and my mother did also. I now have the T-shirt.
