Ilene Reynolds Oliver was born November 25, 1942 in Driggs, Idaho. She attended and graduated from Malad High School where she was known as an exceptional vocalist and was always performing. She loved reminiscing about the many friendships she developed during that time.

She later became involved in real estate and mortgage banking where she excelled due to her ability to help others with her integrity and honesty. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in which she held many service positions.
