She taught herself and her family English, having immigrated from Germany, and was forced all of her growing years to write with the wrong hand, which led to a difficulty writing all of her life. She was loved by everyone who met her, and she had an enormous community presence in Perry. She was very devoted to her family and thoroughly loved playing with her grandchildren, hosting family and friends and preparing all the food for them. As they would leave, she would always tell them, “Toodaloo!” with a smile on her face. She enjoyed reading her Bible, the Daily Blessings devotional, dancing, playing cards, listening to Christian music, and riding the bus to Des Moines for shopping. Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, William and Esther Groth, and a sister, Rosella Grover.
