Dorothy in the family farmhouse outside of Bloomfield on December 16, 1918. She was the youngest of Elsworth T. and Bertha Hill's seven children. Dorothy was a voracious reader and always started her day reading devotional materials followed by the newspaper. Her end table was recognizable by the stack of books she sailed through. After graduating from Bloomfield Junior College, Dorothy moved to Des Moines and studied at AIB College of Business. She worked in Des Moines for a time and began dating another Bloomfield native, Robert "Bob" Hutchings. In 1944 at the age of 25, she joined the WAVES—the Navy's program for women volunteers. She had considered the Army's WACs but said she looked better in navy blue than in khaki! After basic training she joined the secretarial pool in the Navy Building in Washington, DC. There she recorded some of the most important historical events that occurred during the final months of WW II, including serving as a stenographer for the investigation of the Pearl Harbor attack. Dorothy and Bob had corresponded throughout their respective deployments and at the war's end arranged to meet in Washington DC's Union Station. She saw him in the crowded station before he noticed her and said it was at that moment she decided "he was the one." Dorothy and Bob were married in Bloomfield in 1946. Dorothy and Bob moved to Des Moines. Dorothy and Bob were lifelong members of First United Methodist Church and faith was a central tenant in their lives. Over her lifetime Dorothy contributed her time and skills to numerous volunteer activities, and was an active member of PEO Chapter HY. When Bob was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in 1989, she actively and steadfastly provided him with the most attentive and compassionate care. Dorothy was predeceased by her parents; her siblings, Helen (Hill) Ashmead, Herbert Hill, Harlan Hill, Henrietta (Hill) Ensminger, Martha (Hill) Wellborn and Franklin Hill; as well as her husband, Bob and an infant daughter, Deborah. She is survived by her children, Stephen (Ann) Hutchings, Jane Hutchings (Robert Mannheimer); six grandchildren, Robert (Shana) Hutchings, Michael Hutchings, William Hutchings, Nicholas (Lusine) Hutchings, Nathan Mannheimer and Emma Mannheimer. Graveside services Saturday, at the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Bloomfield, Iowa.
