Dorene Allen of Mims, Florida, formerly of Connersville, Indiana, passed away at home on July 31, 2016. Dorene was born on July 3, 1928 to Cecil and Grace Erwin in Petersburg, Indiana. When she was three years old, her family relocated to Connersville where she attended grade school. At the age of sixteen, Dorene married Charles Allen, a marriage that was conducted via airmail for the first two years as Charlie was shipped overseas during World War II. When they were just starting out, Dorene kept the household going on a tight budget and used her skills as a seamstress to make clothes for their two daughters. Over the years, the family always had some sort of RV, as Dorene loved camping. Later, the camping trips nearly always included their four granddaughters. She also enjoyed the annual fishing trips to Michigan, where she would drive the boat while Charlie caught the salmon. After their relocation to Florida in 1989, they enjoyed summertime trips to North Dakota for the camping and walleye. Dorene was a member of the Temple Baptist Church in Titusville, Florida, where she enjoyed the fellowship and made many new friends.

Dorene is survived by Charles Allen, her husband of 72 years, Mims, Florida; daughters Connie Salles of Truchas, New Mexico and Charlene Kuhn of Connersville, Indiana; four grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren.
We love and will miss you, Nan.
