• Great picture of Dorthy and she looks so much like her mother. Dorothy was on special gal and our family thought the world of her. She had such a wonderful smile and laugh and her eyes reflected her great loving spirit she had for others. We loved it when she would come over which was not often enough for us. I chuckle about the work passion she has and quite a repertoire of careers. I always had a special place for Dorothy, something very special about her. Rest in peace Dorothy. ~ Julia (Schaffner) Helgesen Eden Prairie, MN (1/8/2017)

Never complaining, she put her problems on the back burner to make sure you were doing alright dealing with your own! There was no place else my boys wanted to eat, she knew their preferences like they were family! Smart as a whip; the hardest working woman I've ever seen. Loved to see her sit down and visit with the bowlers, or run Hootch down to the lanes. Made me laugh every time. She was the real deal. Bless you and your kind heart, Dorothy! Miss you.
