Dorlene was a fiery woman with a big heart. She never turned down a DIY home improvement project and was a caregiver for many, including her mother and grandchildren. She enjoyed spending time with her family and took great pride in watching her children and grandchildren play sports at Parry McCluer High School. Even in her later years, when she couldn’t attend a game, you’d hear her radio broadcasting the ball games and she was always sure to share the big game details with friends and family. Dorlene was a member of the Stone Church of the Brethren. A graveside service was conducted Tuesday, July 18, at Green Hill Cemetery with Pastor Galen Combs officiating.
Arrangements were handled by Bolling, Grose, & Lotts Funeral Home and Cremation Services. N-G
