Together, they raised their son, John (born in 1969), and adopted their daughter, Marci (1971). Dorthy cherished family life and spent many happy years traveling in their RV and cheering on her children at countless sporting events.

Following Douglas’s passing in 1995, Dorthy Later found companionship again with Ernie Resler. The two shared many joyful years dancing, traveling, and staying active with local senior groups until Ernie’s passing in 2024.

Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Douglas, her brother Andy, her daughter Marci, and her companion Ernie. She is survived by her beloved son John Kometz and her sister Marg Olsen.
