Dorothy was our angel when our mother was at Westphalia Hills for rehab. She took mom under her wing and made sure she felt welcome. For that, Dorothy has always had a special place in all of our hearts!
Peggy and family, sorry for your loss. May your hearts find solace in cherished moments and the love that transcends time.
Sorry for your loss, she always had a smile and hello when I visited my brother Roman at the home.
In loving memory of Dots
Dorathy’s memory is a beacon that continues to shine, guiding those she touched with her warmth and kindness. Her spirit, a blend of compassion and strength, left an indelible mark on the hearts of friends and family. As we remember Dorathy, we celebrate the joy she brought into our lives, the laughter that echoed in our shared moments, and the love that remains a comforting embrace. Her legacy is one of love, a treasure to carry forward as we honor her memory by living our lives with the same generosity and grace she exemplified.
Dorothy and her brother were two peas in a pod. They would always have smiles on their face when they would come into the bank. My sympathy to Ruth and the family. All such good people!
I would visit Dorothy when mom was at Westphalia Hills. She was smiling and happy all the time. Cheered up all those around her as well. In more recent years, I saw her when I would go there for mass once a month. And she would always be the first to lead the singing. You will be missed, Dorothy.
I met Dorothy as a co-worker at Memorial Hospital. She always had a smile and took great pride in her work. She was always willing to help when a patient room needed to be turned over quickly. I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet her. May she rest in peace.🙏
