Dorene was born on Aug. 28, 1930, in Stutsman County, N.D., the daughter of Frank and Lois (Smith) McKee. Dorene grew up on the family farm and graduated high school in New Auburn, Wis. She was united in marriage on April 10, 1953, in Chippewa Falls, Wis., to Robert Donald Wiesner. Their marriage was blessed with seven children: Jim, David, Suzanne, Charlie, Tammy, Patty, and Chris. At that time, Dorene and Robert moved to the Twin Cities, and Dorene took a job for Univac. Throughout her career, Dorene worked as a secretary for the St. Paul school district as well as Admiral Merchants.
In her spare time, she enjoyed doing needlework, playing bingo, cards, and being in cribbage tournaments. After retirement, Dorene and Robert moved to Chippewa Falls and were fortunate to travel across much of the United States together. Dorene will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by her family.
