Passed away in her sleep at her home on March 20, 2006 with her son at her bedside. She was born in Ashland, Wisconsin on June 25, 1910, lost both her parents at an early age, growing up in Walker, Minnesota and was married in Brainard, Minnesota in 1931. She moved to Ballard in 1943 with her husband and son. Dorothy is preceded in death by her husband Alfred of 40 1/2 years in 1980, as well as her sister Mildred Persling in 2005. Dorothy is survived by her son Milton A. Strasburg, daughter-in-law Mary B. Strasburg of Bellevue, 3 grandchildren; Master Sergeant Bill Strasburg serving in Iraq, Michael A. Strasburg and wife Jana of Richland, WA, Maria A. Strasburg of Bellevue and 2 great-grandchildren, Ashley Strasburg-Mitchell and Tyler Strasburg-Mitchell and one nephew Terry Persling of Seattle. Dorothy was a loving wife and mother, grandmother. She worked as a cook for Seattle First National Bank, Seattle Catering Services, and housekeeping and childcare for hundreds of families around Seattle. The "Cookie Lady" baked dozens of cookies each week for all her friends and family who dropped in to see her on NW 51st.
Sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with you at this time.
I will also pray for Bills safe return from Iraq.
