Family was one of Dorothy's passions. She was a world traveler and settled in Plymouth when her husband retired to be near her father and family. Her home was always beautiful, busy and the door was always open. She loved gardening and canning and probably shucked a million elderberries in her life time. In 1949 she joined the American Legion Auxiliary and was a member for 72 years of service to the Veterans the Community and our Country. She was an active member of the First Lutheran Church in Plymouth where she volunteered her time.
