She is also survived by some very special people, Darlene and Robert Lourance, Brenda and Bill Dampier, Danny and Judy Harmon and a very special friend, Lorene Cox of Palisade, Colorado. Ilene and Lorene were like sisters since 1940, when they started high school together.
Ilene was baptized in 1942 at the Church of Christ in Hartshorn, Missouri. Ilene said she never did anything outstanding in school, but she did outstanding things in life.
Amuel and Ilene owned the Little Diamond Café from 1957-1959 in Summersville. Ilene worked for Angelica Uniform Company from 1959-1989. During retirement she stayed active serving as Mayor, Council Woman, Old Mill Rehab board member, Sunday School teacher, writer of Summersville Beacon Senior Age Center new column, Senior Center board member and volunteer. Somehow, with all she did for her community, she found time to be wonderful mother and grandmother.
In Ilene’s own words, “If I go tomorrow, it’s been a great trip.”
