Dorena (Our mother) lived a very full life on the East Coast and then in the

Owens Valley. Dorena loved the Owens Valley and spent a lot of her life in

the mountains on hikes and exploring all the trails in the valley and mountains

in a dune buggy. She had an extraordinary lust for life. In mid-life she took up

quilting which soon became an obsession, she even won a pair of first place

ribbons for her quilts, which she continued until her sight failed As she got

older her greatest enjoyment were her great-grandchildren.

The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Mammoth Orthopedics
