Lorena Cloepfil was born to Olin and Gracie Maupin on July 19, 1921 on the family farm in Watson, Missouri. She was the only child.
Lorena attended Star rural school and graduated from Hamburg High School in 1939. Before getting married, she was employed as a ‘beautician’ (hair stylist) and worked for Sjulin Nurseries in Hamburg.
