Dorothy A Michener (91) was called to her Heavenly Home on Saturday, November 9th at Meadowbrook Nursing Home in Black River Falls, WI, where she will be met by those who have gone before her.
Dorothy was born on May 10, 1933 in La Crosse, WI. She spent her childhood with her 3 siblings; Carol, Jim and Beth.
She married her late husband, Douglas Michener Sr, on June 10th, 1956 and went on to have 3 children of her own; Douglas Michener Jr, Timothy Michener (Lisa Adams) , and Sarah Michener.
She dedicated her life to teaching and taught in Marshfield, Onalaska, and Black River Falls. After her retirement, she remained dedicated by volunteering in the local schools.
Dorothy dearly loved her church (Trout Run United Methodist Church) and was proud to be involved in several activities and events the church held each year. Including: Providing meals for families of the area during the holidays as well as the Fall Bazaar. She played piano regularly at the church for as long as she was able. And if you were lucky enough to visit her at home, you would have experienced her bouncing around and singing hymns.
She loved to read her bible and to spend time with family. She had an infectious laugh and was always thinking of others. To know Dorothy was to lover her.
Dorothy leaves behind her children, grand-children, and great-grandchildren. As well as nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends that will miss her deeply.
Services will be held on Saturday, November 23rd at Trout Run United Methodist Church. Visitation will be held from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service at 12:00 p.m. with a luncheon to follow.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of your choice or to Project Christmas in Black River Falls of which Dorothy was very fond.
