She had five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. She was an active member of Redeemer Lutheran Church. Her most memorable time was spent with her children and grandchildren. Times spent traveling with Lee Evertson were also very special memories. She also enjoyed working in her yard, gardening, taking care of her house plants, and playing cards with friends and family. Dorothy's Family would like to send a special thank you to her Pastor's at Redeemer Lutheran Church and all the people at The Gardens Assisted Living.
