The obituary is brief. If you knew Dorothy, you knew! If you didn't know Dorothy, it would take too long to explain.

Dorothy is survived by her daughter, Debbie (Lyle) Moore of Frazee; her grandson, Cleve (Denise Baune) Moore of Hutchinson; and her great grandchildren: Selma Moore and Clayton Moore. She also leaves a sister-in-law, Mary Kroda.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, her husband's Bob and Harry; her sisters: Esther (Calvin) Smith, Ruth (Bud) Blake and Rose Kroda; her brothers: Roy and Raymond (Ann) Barnes and Joe (Mary) Kroda.

Private services will be held at a later date at Lakeside Cemetery in Frazee where Dorothy will be laid to rest next to Bob.

"A bright spark has gone out of the lives of all the people who knew Dorothy"
