Dottie was able to travel some to visit her brothers from time to time. Her Catholic faith was an integral part of her throughout her life and she was a member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church for many years. Dottie is survived by her sister-in-law, Jane Dalton of Sioux City; many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Dottie’s family would like to thank St. Anthony Nursing Home and St. Anthony Hospice for their loving care she received while she was a resident at the nursing home and to her dear friends in Carroll for their loving care. She was preceded in death by her parents; her sisters, Margaret and Gertrude; her brothers: Bernard, Leonard, Lawrence, Wilbert and Donald; many sisters-in-law; and nephews, Michael and infant Kelly.
