Dorothy was born and raised in Michigan and was married to Joseph Kezele, who passed away as a disabled veteran in 1983.  For the past number of years, she has lived with her daughter in Wisconsin.  She visited Michigan frequently.

Over time, Dorothy was primarily a home mother.  As children increased in age, she worked for a cloth sewing business, disability nursing home, and hotel at various times and places.  Her husband was a moving company truck driver and over two summers she followed him in a 1956 green Ford with her two younger children.  Her two older children rode in the moving truck with their father.

Visitation will be held from 12-6 p.m. on Saturday, February 22, 2020, at the Estes-Leadley Holt/Delhi Chapel.

Dorothy will be buried with her husband, Joseph, in Michigan.
