Lorene was born June 8, 1926, in Sunset, Texas to Andrew and Maggie Mayhugh. She was the oldest of five daughters. Growing up she and her sisters helped out picking cotton on the family farm.

Upon his return from service in World War II, she married the love of her life, Kenneth Bartlett on Christmas Eve 1946. To this union they had three children Kent, June & Joye.
Lorene lived life to the fullest. She worked hard, both in and out of the home. She was “Momma” to Kent, June and Joye. Kenneth called her “Momma” too, and she called him “Kid”.

She loved going to the coffee shop with her husband, working crossword puzzles and going to antique shows and auctions.
