Dorothea W. Koeshall, age 89, of Woodruff, WI, passed away October 16, 2025, at Seasons of Life Hospice House. She is now at peace, dancing in heaven with her husband Jerry, who she missed so dearly, and embraced by her daughter Yvonne, who preceded her in death.

Dorothea was born March 17, 1936, in Berlin, Germany. She moved to the United States with her husband in 1958. She will be remembered by all that knew her as the “Determined German” and for her smile and daily greetings as she walked the halls of One Penny Place. She was ALWAYS beautifully dressed, displaying her jewelry, her painted nails, and wonderful perfume.

Dorothea is survived by her family and friends.

No services will be held per Dorothea’s request.
