Lorena was born in Independence on November 15, 1937 to Merle and Eunice (DeTar) Grabham. She attended rural schools and graduated from Independence High School.

Lorena operated a daycare out of the family's home for a number of years before they opened the Dearing Family Delight. They later purchased the Country Time Mall and added the Music Theater. Together the couple shared a love for music, often times you could find Lorena playing the piano with Willard on the fiddle. Lorena would often play for the Central Baptist Church as well.
