Alene Maughan

Doris Alene Maughan, age 82, passed away on April 5, 2025. She will be deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and dear friends.
Alene was born on May 4, 1942, to Delbert Kynaston Argyle and Dora Alene Baty Argyle of Bancroft, Idaho. She was the cherished baby sister to her siblings, Denece and Doyle. Alene was born and raised in Bancroft and graduated from North Gem High School. She married William Brent Maughan on January 4, 1961. Their union was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, her great-grandson Owen Gallegos, and her sweetheart Brent with whom she is now joyously reunited.
Alene is survived by her five children: Pam (Jim) Neuner, Bret (Brenda) Maughan, Tracie (Mike) Rendon, Eric (Yvette) Maughan, and Jason (Marcie) Maughan. She is also survived by eighteen grandchildren and thirty-three great-grandchildren.
Alene was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served in various callings including Relief Society President on two occasions. As a DUP member, Alene valued her family's legacy and took pride in the fact that her parents homesteaded in Gem Valley. She cherished her childhood on the ranch and developed a lifelong love of horses. Alene enjoyed music and played the piano. Her talents in sewing, quilting, and crocheting were evident in the beautiful handiwork she created and shared with others.
She sold Avon for several years and formed many lasting friendships during that time. As a family, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the friends who have been there for her. She loved just going for a drive, taking in the sights and enjoying the beauty of the area she called home for her entire life.
