  1. So very sad to hear about Dorothy’s passing! She will be missed by so many! Our thoughts and prayers are with Frank and his family at this time of sorrow! Love Mary Ann, Tamie and Terri

    1. We were grade and high school classmates in Altoona, Wisconsin. Our 1954 class of 18 students remember Dorothy as a classy redhead with a beautiful smile, friendly disposition, ready for fun and a good laugh; but more importantly, after many years of little contact, 10 of our classmates reconnected in the late 90’s at our own reunion, and Dorothy and Frank were the life of the party. BLESSINGS. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

  3. Aunt Dottie was a treasure and a blessing. Her kind and generous spirit always made me feel important. My deepest sympathies to Uncle Frank and family during this time.

  4. Our world will miss her light for sure. My first memory was meeting them at mom and dads wedding. I thought she was Dolly Parton sister. Little girl imaginations and assumptions….her spirit always brought happy, joy and laughter into a room. My deepest prayers , love and hugs to Uncle Frank and kids.
