Dorothy was a lifelong Muskego, WI resident and a lifetime Member of Whitnall Park Lutheran Church, where she was known as "The Lefsa Queen." She was a member of WPLC's Dorcas Circle and her love of baking added immeasurable donations to her beloved Church through their bake sales. Dorothy was loved by the entire Congregation, especially "Her Boys: Michael, Corky, Dean, Connor and Jon."
Dorothy retired from Briggs & Stratton after 27 years and countless friendships (although everyone she met was considered a friend). She loved to travel; visiting most of the U.S. and abroad. Dorothy visited Norway as one of the stops on her many cruises. There, she saw the home of her ancestors in Drummon - even being welcomed and given a tour by the current owners! She also loved to fish, play bingo and nickel slots.
Dorothy had boundless energy and a kind, loving and generous spirit. She loved life and lived it filled with adventures. She will be sorely missed, but forever in our hearts. Memorials appreciated to Whitnall Park Lutheran Church.
