Read More	Dorothy was born February 5, 1917 to Minnie Grace Albright Stephenson in Webb, Iowa. She lived her younger years in Spencer, Iowa yet spent summers in Webb, Iowa with her beloved grandparents, George and Anne Albright. As a youth she loved roller skating and attending the youth group at the Baptist Church in Webb, Iowa. During her school years she was known at Dot, in reference to her diminutive size. She graduated from the Webb High School May 28, 1936. She met her future husband, Raymond Skelton at the Baptist Church in Webb, Iowa. Her pleasant memory of their first date was being escorted to the church youth activity in a horse drawn sleigh. Another often told tale is double dating with the ladies riding in the rumble seat of Ray’s fathers’ car. They married January 27, 1939 in Chillicothe, MO. with beloved cousin Arlene as her bridesmaid. Ray and Dorothy were married 51 years prior to his passing in 1990. During the earlier years of their marriage they farmed in northwest Iowa. Four of their children were born during this time, Donald Ray, Margaret Ann, Dale Allen and Jean Marie. Many of the subsequent years were spent in Albert Lea, MN. as Ray worked for Mays Electrical Engineering Labs. During this time Dorothy baked all the bread and tended a large garden for her children who did not appreciate supermarket food. In Albert Lea the family was completed with the addition of Janice Kay. In later years Dorothy worked as a bookkeeper while Ray managed the same motel in Rochester, MN. Always a good student, Dorothy enjoyed the challenge of the bookkeeping process. Dorothy’s greatest joy was her children and family life. She enjoyed the ladies church clubs and Eastern Star. She was a proud member of Eastern Star for 54 years. Dorothy eventually moved to Kalispell, MT. to be near family. She was very proud to reside in her own apartment to 98 years of age. Dorothy was preceded in death by her mother Minnie Stephenson, husband Raymond Skelton, son Donald Skelton, daughter Jean Peterson and beloved brothers and sisters in-law. Dorothy is survived by daughters Janice (Larry) Brazda and Margaret (Charles) Green, son Dale Skelton and son in-law Lee Peterson. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Michael (Missy) Skelton, Mark Skelton, Shari (Todd) Anderson, Michele (Chris) Nelson, Paul (Courtney) Peterson, Scott (Angie) Peterson, Adam (Natalie) Peterson, Kim Gustine, Melissa Walden, Mindi (Eric) Raby, Chris Brazda and Laura Brazda. Also surviving are 18 great-grandchildren.
