I´m sorry that I just found out the Dorothy passed away. She was one of my favorite persons in my life.
I began my career in the funeral profession at her funeral home back in 1974. She always made me lunch or dinner if we had a visitation that evening. With out a doubt one of the nicest ladies I have ever known .
I served my apprenticeship under her husband , LeRoy Schielka.
Gods Blessings Dorothy .
