Doreen Rene'
Worley
d. Jul 9, 2025
Doreen Rene Sudbrack Worley, 87, Nampa, Idaho Doreen Rene Sudbrack Worley, 87, passed away July 9, 2025, at her home in Nampa, Idaho. Rene was born September 20, 1937, in Malta, Montana. She was the second child of Reinhard and Hattie (Iverson) Sudbrack of Saco. Rene grew up on the family homestead five miles north of Saco on Milk River. Along with her siblings, she helped her parents farm, ranch, and tend to the infinite tasks of Montana agricultural life. During her years as a Saco Panther, Rene participated in a variety of activities, including music. She was acknowledged for her piano and organ accompaniment for her schoolmates, as well as several churches. After graduating as salutatorian in 1955, she moved to Glasgow where she met her future husband, Charles "Chuck" Worley. Chuck secured work from the Montana Highway Department and because of job requirements, Chuck and Rene lived in many towns including Malta (twice), Wolf Point (twice), Glasgow (twice), Opheim, Scobey, Culbertson, and Deer Lodge. Along the way Nancy and Jerry were born. By 1968, the family landed in Wolf Point for the second time. To avoid another move, Chuck retired from the highway department in 1971, and with Rene's help, purchased the Sears Catalog Store – and eventually self-identified as Wolf Pointers for fifty years. In 1972, Mark was born, and the family was now complete. For decades, Rene was involved in community volunteerism where she and Chuck met many treasured friends. They volunteered for rodeos, church undertakings, youth activities, and civic causes. They were founding members of "Friday Night Trash," an incubator for Wolf Point's annual Clean Sweep. They were also charter participants with the Wolf Point Athletic Association which was instrumental in building the school's sports complex on Lowry Field and the original all-weather track. For these and other unassuming efforts, the couple was selected as Grand Marshalls for the 2014 Wolf Point Stampede Rodeo. Beyond the community, Rene worked with the Montana legislature and the U.S. Congress in securing laws for the protection of the elderly from financial exploitation. She took several trips to Washington, D.C. as a national representative for AARP to help with the cause. Rene was preceded in death by her parents, infant brother Curtis, and brother Phillip (Karla). She is survived by her husband Chuck; children Nancy (LaVar), Jerry (Peggy), and Mark (Becky); sister Norma (Ted); brothers Cecil (Sharon) and Dale (Elena); grandchildren Jake, Bret, Dawn, and Alex; and numerous beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, and special friends. Words cannot express how much we thank you for the outpouring of sympathy, love, support, and prayers. We are grateful. Our mom would be honored if we celebrated a well-lived life by sharing a smile with those around us as often as possible. A celebration of Rene's life will take place on Saturday, September 13, at 1:00 p.m. at the I.O.O.F. Hall in Saco. Memorials for the family may be left to the charity of your choice. Or, in the spirit of one of Rene's core beliefs, we are encouraged to make our communities a better place to live. Condolences for the family may be left at https://zeyerfuneralchapel.com
