Born and raised on the family homestead farm of her paternal
grandparents William and Eliza (Bundy) Yenne, she attended grade school
at the rural Lone Star School at Bellaire, KS, then attended and
graduated from Smith Center High School in 1951.
Dorothy married Harry Roger Carley on Easter Sunday, April 13, 1952, at the First United Methodist Church of Smith Center. To this union, of
47 years at the time of Roger’s death in September 1999, was born Brad
in 1953 and nearly 17 years later, Brenda in 1969. Their 47 years of
life together took them to many states in the union, settling in New
Mexico in the late 1950s where she spent the remaining years of her
life.
