Prior to her marriage, Dorothy taught for one year at the former Sheridan School #3. For the rest of her life, she devoted herself to farming with her husband and caring for her beloved family.
In her spare time, she loved to crochet and enjoyed traveling as well. At Thanksgiving you would find her in a heated, competitive Dominos game with her children and grandchildren. She also was a donor through the Iowa Donor Association.
Those left to honor her memory include her children, Bruce (Yvonne-Miller) Mohr of Guffy, Colo., Marilyn (Wayne) Griffin of Eldridge, Ralph (Margaret-Hart) Mohr of Minneapolis, Minn., Sara (Karl Joe) Nissen of Eldridge, Jeffrey Mohr of Burnsville, Minn., Connie (Michael) Richards of Denver, Iowa, Charles (Rebecca) Mohr of O’Fallon, Mo., and Janet (Mick) Kutmas of Davenport; 18 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren and four arrivals yet to be welcomed.
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Jean Carlin and Grace Ann Schaefer.
Dorothy’s greatest joy in life was her wonderful family and by God’s Grace on Saturday, June 9th, she was able to attend and enjoy a large, joy-filled family reunion in her honor.
