Dorothy Meyer Obituary
Oct. 6, 1922 - Oct. 8, 2012
Resident of Cupertino, CA
Dorothy T. Meyer was born Oct. 6, 1922 in San Francisco, CA. She was the only child born to Thoralf and Altha Throndson. Dorothy loved her Lord, the church and music. She combined these loves in her work and volunteer ministry throughout her adult life as she served at several Lutheran churches. In 2010, Dorothy's health forced her to move from her home in San Carlos to Sunny View Retirement Community, in Cupertino, CA. She died on Oct. 9, 2012 at Sunny View. Dorothy is survived by her son Bob Meyer of Sonora, grandchildren Danny Young, Kirstin Meyer, and Cody Meyer, and great-grandchildren Danny and Alex Mendenhall. A memorial service will be held on Oct. 20, 2012 at 2 PM at Bethel Lutheran Church, 10181 Finch Ave., Cupertino, CA.

Dorothy will be remembered for her beautiful singing voice, her love of the Lord, and her quick wit and great storytelling! I will always remember her singing "Old Mother Hubbard" in opratatic-style, and her story of "the squirrel and the firemen." We sang in Bethel Belles together and I have loved her all these years. Dorothy, you will be missed, but I'll see you at the Banquet Table!

Dorothy is surely now singing the praises of her Lord to the top of her lungs! She was a bright spirit on earth and I'm sure she is even brighter in heaven. I thank God for the gift knowing her for many years and witnessing the joy she brought to others.
