Dorene was born November 13, 1935 in Clay Center, KS to Emil and Alma (Algren) Kaspar and passed away July 24, 2018 in St. Louis, MO.

Dorene worked at the First Presbyterian Church for 24 years as an Administrative assistant for the pastors at the church. She adored her work and had “Presbyterian” running through her veins. She was a doer and joiner, belonging to a sorority, PEO, Presbyterian Women, Eastern Star, and two bridge clubs. She was a Den Mother, Homeroom Mother, PTA President and chaperone to everything. The best mother and grandmother ever!
-
She delivered mobile meals to those in need, visiting those that did not have family in the area or could not get out themselves. She loved to travel, see and experience new things and went on mission trips to Peru, Czech Republic, Kenya and New Orleans.

Always putting her family first, Dorene was an amazing wife, homemaker, Mom, Gramma, Granny and Grammy! There is no doubt where she is now, in Heaven with her Savior, Jesus Christ, whole, healthy and still loving on all of us!
-
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband.
