Dorothy Brecunier

When I first moved to Waterloo in 1963, I became acquainted with Dody at Delta Gamma alum meetings. Then our paths began to cross through membership in other organizations. One year, we attended a Tau of Delta Gamma Founder's Day Event together in Iowa City. Although she didn't realize it, Dody was a mentor to me. I admired her social grace, quiet and wise leadership, and willingness to help others. She was always one of my favorites.

I knew Dody for many years. Her son, Chuck, and I were in the same class. Many sleep overs and West High swim meets with Chuck. I'll always remember Dody as being a gracious host whenever I was a guest in her house on Pauline Place. She had a sharp sense of humor and always smiled. I will miss her wit and stories.
