In 1973, Dorothy was united in marriage to Peter Wolf and together they raised their children.
Dorothy was also a devoted parishioner of St. Charles of Borromeo Catholic Church in Rapid River where she served on the parish council and also was a Eucharistic minister. She also was an avid reader, mainly of mystery books, and also was a great baker. She especially cherished visiting her grandchildren, and she will be truly missed.
