She was born at Table Rock, NE, Aug. 13, 1927, one of five children born to the late John and Edna Branek Findlay and grew up in the Table Rock-Humbolt area where she attended schools, later graduating from Humbolt High School where she received normal training that qualified her to teach school. She loved teaching in the one room country schools, which she did prior to being married. Dorothy was a longtime member of the First Presbyterian Church at Falls City, and of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Church. She had served as president and held various offices through the years of the ladies auxiliary to Homer-White Post #66, Hiawatha American Legion. During the younger years of her children, she was involved in the 4H Program. She enjoyed sewing, and dearly loved spending time with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always kind and forgiving and so proud of the grandchildren who made it in the Army. She was the true matriarch of Kerl Green Valley Dairy. Their dairy was voted “Farm Family of the Year” in 1972. She met Claude L. Kerl while home on furlough from the Army. They married following his discharge Aug. 10, 1947 at the Dawson Methodist Church. They farmed with his parents before starting their own farming operation. They farmed near Oneida, KS, Falls City, and were partners in a dairy operation near Baker, KS. They purchased their farm and built a Grade A Dairy in 1960, north of Hiawatha. She truly loved the farm and was involved with the daily milking, chores, driving tractors, haying…whatever needed to be done, she did. He died March 17, 2006.
