Dora Mae Brewer

July 19, 1941 – March 29, 2026

Dora Mae Brewer, lovingly known as MaMaw, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2026 at Worland Healthcare and Rehab in Worland, Wyoming.

Dora grew up in Leadore, Idaho, the only child of her devoted parents, Margaret Grace (Howell) and Bill Rahr. As a young girl, she could often be found fishing or riding horses. In her later years, you could find her enjoying a puzzle or deep in thought with a book.

Dora graduated from Leadore High School in 1959, after which she joined the United States Army, where it was her honor to serve her country from 1960 – 1962. While in the Army, she met and married Lee Brewer. The couple moved around the country and later welcomed their two children, Bill and Lillian "Missy", to the family.

While raising her children, Dora worked as an LPN in a hospital and later worked in a special needs group home. Dora and Lee later divorced when the children were in their teens. Dora then moved back to Idaho and began working at Snow King Resorts as a telephone operator.

Dora will be remembered for her wonderful humor. She was always fun to be around and enjoyed making people laugh. She especially loved giving everyone funny nicknames!

After moving to Jackson, Wyoming in 1988 and living there, Dora later moved to Worland, Wyoming, where she spent the last seven years of her life with her devoted daughter, Lillian, and granddaughter, Pam.

Dora was preceded in death by her parents, Bill Rahr and Margaret Grace Rahr. She is survived by her son, Bill Brewer of Sweet Home, Oregon; her daughter, Missy Burnside of Worland, Wyoming; granddaughter, Pamela Burnside of Worland, Wyoming; and great-granddaughter, Missy.

No formal services are planned at this time. The family would graciously appreciate donations to assist in funeral costs. Donations may be sent to Bryant Funeral Home, PO Box 524, Worland, Wyoming. Online condolences may be made at www.bryantfuneralhomeonline.com.
