Dorothy Ann Boschert, nee Dreisewerd, 92, Columbia, passed away Thursday, Dec. 13, 2018, at Boone Hospital Center, Columbia.

Dorothy was a devoted Catholic and member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Warrenton. She was a stay-at-home mother and a farmer's wife, and later retired from Shelter Insurance.
