We will truly miss Dorothy. She always supported my brother and I when it came to candy sales. She was always at my grandmother’s house for a party. She will be very much missed.
I spent many years at her house, a wonderful woman. She will be missed.

Aloha Nui Loa Aunt Dorothy.
I still miss those GREAT 4th of July parties.
And you were the first one to introduce me to Hawaii with the Hawaiian War Chant song you played on the old record player for us kids.
Blessings Forever,
Janee Marie

I have long missed the side-yard bar-b-ques, and, of course, the kool-aid. All I could drink.
Our deepest sympathy, out hearts go out to you.
Sending love to you and all of your family

Susan, Jerry and family,
My heart sank as I was reading the obits today and saw your mom’s picture. She was one in a million! Your Mom was such a great neighbor, especially watchful of our Mother, after our Dad passed away. I wish I could be there to celebrate Dorothy’s life…she was a good Mom, a wonderful neighbor and dear friend to the Claeys family.
My sincere condolence.
Marie (Claeys) Olson
