Allene Ivy (Day) Pauls was born December 6, 1938, in Beeler, Kansas, at home to Ivy and Everett Day and big brother Dean. She attended elementary through high school in Beeler with graduation in 1956. She worked hard on the farm during times of sickness and health of her parents and pursued nursing school after high school. She attended St. Mary of the Plains in Dodge City for 2 semesters then on to Wichita where she graduated in 1959. She met her husband, a farmer from Ulysses, Kansas in 1960. They married September 17, 1961. They started their lives farming alongside his brother Irv and sister-in-law Rosella until health issues forced a move from farming to Garden City, KS.
