Her father worked for the Union Pacific Railroad, and she lived in section “towns” along the railroad — — Latham, Riner and finally Wamsutter. Ileene attended high school in Rawlins, working part time for attorney Bob Bates her senior year. She graduated in 1946 from Rawlins High School, then attended Barnes Business College in Denver, graduating in 1947.

She worked for the law firm of Glenn Parker and Gordon Davis until the birth of their first child in 1949. Ileene and Oscar had six children. They both enjoyed dancing and never missed a Snowball dance at the Elks Club during the holidays. She was a stay at home mom, enjoying cooking, especially baking, knitting, crocheting, sewing, oil painting, embroidery, stained glass and quilt making. At Christmas she made Scandinavian dishes that were a tradition in Oscar’s family.
In 1987 Ileene went to work for Ron Bach at the Gambles store. After the store closed in 1993 she went to work for Ron and Bev Wilts at True Value Hardware. She was employed there until retirement in 2012.
