Together they raised their three children. They moved the family to Afton Township, MN in 1966 and then to a 40-acre hobby farm in Hammond, WI in 1979. She was involved in a variety of organizations including Sons of Norway of Woodville, homemakers club, 4H group leader, various church groups, and even co-cub scout Den Mother. Throughout her life, she exemplified the values of family and community, making her home a welcoming haven. Dorothy enjoyed baking for her family; especially holiday treats, canning vegetables from the garden and making preserves. She really liked sewing clothes for herself and daughter.
