Young Dorothea (Simons) Kopplin

Dorothea was a best selling authoress for her book, "Something To Live By". She wrote the book after losing her young daughter, Rosemary, to leukemia. Later, she memorialized her home to honor her daughter and then set up an estate to maintain the home and refurbish a portion of it to serve as dorm rooms to house female college students who are pursuing careers in nursing, teaching, and business administration.
