Lorene was born on December 12, 1923, southwest of Greene, IA at home to Albert and Mabel (Martzahn) Steere.  She attended school through the 8th grade and then began working on her father’s farm.  On December 27, 1944, Lorene was united in marriage to Willard Wolf; the couple had 72 years together.  To their union six children were born.  Lorene spent most of her life as a devoted homemaker.  She was extremely resourceful by feeding her family with fresh and canned vegetables from her garden.  Lorene also liked baking breads and coffee cake.  She really enjoyed needlepoint and embroidery; Lorene was a talented seamstress and even made dresses for her daughters.
