Dorothy was a member of East Walle Lutheran Church, was active in WELCA. Dorothy was very involved in the family farm, hauling beets for her brother Johnny for 21 years. The most enjoyable time of year was the spring when all of the yard cleaning began. She took great pride in her home and yard, working from sun up to sun down. Driving her mule, sawing down trees, and picking up branches. One of her favorite sayings was "If I had a nickel for every branch I'd ever picked, I'd be a millionaire!" She was very self-sufficient, working on tractors, changing oil, and making sure everything was in working order. Dorothy was very proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, often babysitting or running them to activities.
