I knew Dorothy through P.E.O. She was a kind spirit and didn’t say “no” when asked to serve or help others. She will be missed!

Mike and Dennis please accept my condolences, I know what it’s like to lose a loved one
Dorothy was a long time friend of my parents, Bob and Phyllis Collyer, along with Richard. Together, they traveled the world and shared so many functions and activities. We have wonderful memories of the fun the 4 of them shared. We are sorry for the family’s loss and special hugs to Linda Devers, my lifetime friend and Dorothy’s sister in law. They were very close.
Dorothy and Dick lived one door down from me in the Condo, Windbridge Lane. I was the president and her term was up and I asked Dorothy to stay on and work with me and the new council. What a beautiful spirit of such a servant for the Lord. Dick always sat in the bay window making sure I blew every leaf from his yard. Dorothy was a woman of Hospitality and always had something to eat and drink as I would come in on those early mornings after scooping snow from all those 30+ condo units. In July, 2026, Dorothy and her son, Mike and wife, were at the Sunday Prayer Service, Primrose Retirement Communities, where I led the prayer and music. I could see her SMILE but knew she was failing. As each day and month went on I knew in my visits to her room at Primrose that she was having a hard time remembering me . . . but knew the voice. So, may she rest in peace and enter a New World, the Kingdom of God, a place that she knew in her heart and soul that that was her dwelling place with many condo rooms and now joining Dick after 7 years [Jan 28, 2019]. She knew her Maker, her God and as she was transitioning, passing over she also knew her suffering would bring her through that Valley of Death but at the end was the Epiphany Light. I am honored again to sing and be part of her Celebration of NEW Life at King of Kings Lutheran Church. May Dorothy smile and leave her breath over each of us and especially all who are suffering especially in Minnesota and even at Primrose. I will cherish her friendship along with Mike and Dennis. Namaste, Fr. Frank Davied
