Dorene passed away on October 16, 2011 at the Crown Care Center in Harrisonville Missouri. She grew up in rural Taylor County and graduated with a teaching certificate from Bedford High School in 1938. She taught in a couple of rural schools, including the "Skinner" school in the Nodaway Township. She married Max L. Gray on February 13, 1943 and followed him to Texas for Army training, and then returned home upon Max's deployment to Europe during WWII. They farmed the Carpenter farm in Guss, Iowa for over forty years, until Max's death in 1994. While her passion was helping Max with their farm, Dorene did work in several off-farm jobs in Bedford and Clarinda (Hawley Drug, Bordeoux, Turners, Style Shop, and Lucas Clothing). She was active in the UMW at the Maple Grove Methodist Church and neighborhood clubs in the Guss area. After their children were grown, Dorene and Max took up square dancing and enjoyed going dancing on Saturday nights with their square dance club. After Max's passing, she moved to an apartment in Bedford where she enjoyed visiting with friends, going out for pizza, walking, crocheting, sewing, playing dominos, and visits from her children and grandchildren. In 2003, Dorene moved to Harrisonville MO to be closer to her son and his family for health reasons. She lived the past five years at Crown Care Center in Harrisonville, where she was loved by the staff and residents and will be remembered for her smile and quiet ways. Preceding Dorene in death were her parents, husband Max, and only sibling, Russell, as well as many other loved ones. Remaining to cherish Dorene's memory are her children: Linda (Mike) Parks of Madison, South Dakota and Bill (Susan) Gray of Archie Missouri; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; sister-in-laws: Thelma (Jack) Stamps, Rena (Bob) Gray, Lois (Donald) Trybom and Maxine Gould; and many friends. Dorene's sweet spirit and loving smile will always be remembered. Her greatest legacy was her unconditional love for her family which was shown through her hard work, dedication and abiding love. Funeral services will be held at Walker-Merrick Funeral Home, 422 E. Washington, Clarinda, Iowa 51632-1724, telephone number 1-712-542-2153. obituary submitted by Penny Schrock
