Dora Gertrude Hoyer was born on August 7, 1915, in Burnside, Iowa, the daughter of Louis W. and Helena (Heitkamp) Hoyer. She graduated with the Burnside High School Class of 1932. Dora was united in marriage to Howard O. Hendrickson on June 10, 1935, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dayton. The couple lived their entire married lives in Webster County. Dora and Howard farmed initially, then owned and operated the Maple Lanes Bowling Alley in Dayton for many years. Howard passed away in 1978. Dora was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church, where she was involved in many church activities including: Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, Sunday school teacher, member of the Ladies Guild, and church organist up until the age of 93. Dora loved to give hugs and was known to many locals as the “Happy Hugger”. Dora spent the last 6 years of her long, event-filled life at Crowell Home in Blair. Dora had a bell on her walker and was known there as “Dora the Explorer”. Dora lived up to both names as she interacted with the many people she met. She is survived by three sons and daughters-in-law: Rev. John and Nancy Hendrickson of Roseville, Minn.; Gary and Laura Hendrickson of Blair; and Brian and Christine Hendrickson of Avon Park, Fla.; a daughter-in-law: Marilee Hendrickson of Omaha; nine grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; one great-great granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Howard O. Hendrickson; a son, Rev. Harvey D. Hendrickson; a grandson, Zachary David Hendrickson; four brothers and four sisters. Dora outlived many and will be missed by many more. Memorials may be directed to the “Organ Fund” at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dayton, Iowa. ~~~~~~~ Obituary courtesy of the Washington County Genealogical Society. Newspaper clippings on file in the Blair Public Library at Blair, Nebraska. ~~~~~ The following is from the funeral leaflet and noted taken at the funeral at Country Bible Church, Blair, Nebraska. Pastor Glen Hudson read the story of Dora's life. Phillip Hendrickson, a grandson, read Psalm 23:1-4. A son, Rev. John Hendrickson, gave opening remarks. A video taken in 1978, at her husband Howard's funeral, was of the 4 sons, playing "Behold a Host", with the congregation at Country Bible joining in the last verse. Each of the four sons played a musical instrument--2 were teachers (including one who was a Lt. Col. in the US Air Force reserves), one was a pastor, and one spent much of his life in prison (as warden at a state penitentiary). Phillip Hendrickson read John 14:1-3, and the congregation sang "Children of the Heavenly Father". Pastor Glen Hudson spoke of Dora, "The Happy Hugger", as she was known to the family. Alan Amandus, Dora's nephew, sang "The Lord's Prayer", and the congregation sang vs 1,2,3,8 of "I Know That My Redeemer Lives".
