Dorothy graduated from Platteville High School in 1946 and went on to attend Beauty School in Madison, graduating in 1948. She worked at the Ella List Salon for several years and then Parkview Terrace until retiring in 1994. Dorothy was a member of the Peace Lutheran Church in Platteville. She enjoyed quilting and sewing at the church and in her free time. Dorothy also volunteered at the Platteville Thrift Shop, helped deliver meals on wheels, and enjoyed card club. Her greatest love, though, was time spent with family.

Dorothy was a regular volunteer at the Platteville Thrift Shop over many years. As one of the five founders of the Thrift Shop, I saw her at the shop many times as I delivered the paychecks to employees. Volunteers have been a definite asset as to the success of the shop. In my mind she stood out as one of the most loyal in her volunteering. On behalf of the board I send you our deepest sympathy in her passing and our thanks for her loyal volunteering. Jean Sanders
