Read More	Dorothy Mae Molgaard, 91, of Atlantic, Iowa, fell asleep in the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, December 11, 2007, at her home in the Allen House for Assisted Living. She was born November 13, 1916 to Joseph and Ruby Peterson Wheatley in a rural Atlantic, Iowa farmhouse, where Dorothy spent her early childhood years. She was educated at the country school close by. She met her husband to be in 1933, as he worked for Dorothy's father on the family farm. On September 6, 1935, Dorothy and Hilmer Molgaard were united in marriage. To this union were born two children: Marlene and Merlyn. Dorothy loved her family, polka music, her kittens, (there was never an untamed one near), and the Danish traditions. Her home was open to all, but not to leave without a cup of coffee and a Danish delight. She loved to cook the favorites for her grandchildren, gearing especially toward pancakes, Johnny Cake, bran muffins, and aeblskivers. She had a sweet tooth, which even demanded she could-maybe-eat dessert before the main course????? She had a gentle, caring nature, and could often "outfox the best" by simply sitting back and saying nothing. In her later years, she enjoyed socializing and being with her "family" at the Allen House. While there, Dorothy loved to play and WIN at Bingo and play and WIN at cards. Dorothy's faith and love for God was also an important element in her life. She was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church. Surviving are her children; daughter and son in law, Marlene and Bob McCoy, Bedford; a son and daughter in law, Merlyn and Vonnie Molgaard, Loveland, Colorado; seven grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Also surviving are a brother and sister in law, Lester and Elleen Wheatley, Elk Horn, Iowa, and a sister and brother in law, M. J. (Sam) and Wayne King, Des Moines, Iowa. Her husband, parents and a brother, Boyd, preceded her in death. Dorothy will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
