Dorothy lived as a child in South Minneapolis, attended school and graduated form South High in 1927. 

She and husband Ken lived in several Twin City locations before settling on Lake Minnetonka near Mound where they lived until retirement.

They then traveled and spent winters in Florida, Texas and Arizona. For the past eight years, she lived at Summerwood in Plymouth, where she had many friends.  She enjoyed visiting and watching all sports on television, and never missed a Twins game. We feel fortunate to have had our mother and grandmother with us for over 100 years and now she has gone to be with her husband, mother, sisters and brother for eternity. 

Thank you to the staff at Summerwood and North Memorial Hospice for their care.
