Lorene Dick
Lorene M. Dick passed away April 11, 2018, with her husband and love of her life at her side.
Lorene was born Oct. 31, 1928, in Denver, Colorado, the eldest daughter of Bertha Schwieder and Oscar Boge. She and her brothers and sister grew up in Denver, Colorado, through the depression era; times were tough.
Lorene graduated from Manual High School in Denver. She worked summers, lived at home, and attended Colorado Women’s College, now Temple Buelle College, for two years. With financial help from her school teacher aunts, Ethel Boge and Mabel Boge, she continued her education at Colorado State College, now Northern Colorado University, in Greeley, Colorado, graduating in 1950 with a degree in biological science.
During her senior year, while on a ski bus trip to Estes Park, Colorado, she met Kenneth V. Dick. They were married on Dec. 23, 1949.
Following her graduation, Lorene and Kenneth began teaching at the high school in Snyder, Colorado. In the summer of 1951, when they returned to Greeley so Kenneth could complete his master’s degree in education, Lorene and Kenneth met a school counselor, who was recruiting teachers for the Intermountain Indian School, which had opened in 1949 in Brigham City, Utah. It was a meeting that changed their lives.
In 1951, the young couple moved to Brigham City where Lorene began a new and challenging job as a teacher at a the recently opened Native American boarding school. It was at a time when the students had little or no formal education. She had an Navajo interpreter in her classroom. As the students progressed in Intermountain’s high school program, Lorene taught algebra. Their first daughter was born while the couple still lived on the Intermountain Indian School campus.
Lorene took a break from teaching when the couple moved into their new home, built as a class project by the Intermountian students. Two more daughters followed, and in 1962 the couple bought a new home in Perry, Utah. Lorene returned to teaching at Intermountain working until her retirement in 1980. The school closed in 1984.
Following their retirements, Lorene and Kenneth enjoyed traveling across the United States and skiing at local ski resorts. Lorene also enjoyed sewing, making counted cross stitch quilts, knitting gifts, gardening, and walking in the Perry hills.
Lorene is survived by her husband, Kenneth; sister, Winifred Herbert (Clifford), Reno, Nevada; daughters, Carolyn K. Dick, Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Lorna M. Dick, Layton, Utah; and grandchildren: Kayla Dickensen, Kelsy Dickensen, Braeden J. Dick, and Danielle M. Dick.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Orville Boge and Walter Boge; and daughter, Gillian Dickensen.
A memorial service was held for Lorene at the Community Presbyterian Church in Brigham City, on April 17. Lorene donated her body to the University of Utah’s body donor program.
Memorial gifts may be given to the Brigham City Senior Center, which has been so helpful in recent years. Special thanks go to neighbors, Linda and Gary Simkins, and Michael and Renae Emery.

He was the oldest of five children and leaves behind four siblings: Marilyn (Craig) Smith, Rhees (Glenna) Burt, Michelle (Rodney) Mund, and Blake (Ann) Burt.

He was known as “Teddy Bear” because of his gentle demeanor, and he hated to tackle anyone because he might hurt them.
He graduated from Box Elder High School in 1968. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Auckland, New Zealand, from 1969 to 1971.
After his return he attended Weber State College in Ogden for brief time where he studied drafting.

He worked at Morton Thiokol, Autoliv, Security Services at the Salt Lake International Airport, Harvey’s Sales and Service and other jobs around the intermountain area.
