Alma Norene McVay, the daughter of Charles Orien and Ethel Mae Anderson McVay, was born on November 29, 1927, in Colfax Township, Boone County, Iowa. She always went by "Norene." She was a 1945 graduate of Luther High School. On July 1, 1952, Norene married Lyle Everett Hurley at the Luther Methodist Church. The Hurleys lived on a farm outside of Luther, Iowa.
Norene was a homemaker and taught piano students in her home for nearly 30 years. During those years, she was also an organist at the Luther Methodist Church. She enjoyed music, sewing, and family activities. Norene and Lyle were longtime supporters of Iowa State University Basketball. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Boone, United Methodist Women, the Iowa State University coffee group, and the P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization), which has provided scholarship funding for the education of women since it was founded by seven students at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in 1869. Norene served as the Colfax Township Clerk from 1975 to 2006. A memorial bench in Rose Hill/Clark Cemetery was dedicated in her honor. Also, in 2019, the road in Rose Hill Cemetery was paved in Norene's honor....a long-standing wish of hers.
