Dorothy Hunter

Dorothy was born July 22, 1940, in Otto Township, Ottertail, MN, the daughter of Lloyd and Myrtle (Wells) Scheiding. Dorothy was a wonderful woman who lived a hell of a life. She raised eleven children who always kept her on her toes. She loved life and was never afraid to smile and laugh. Dorothy enjoyed playing cards, cooking and spending time with friends and family. She was a very good mother and grandmother who always had time for her family no matter what. Through all the ups and downs in her life she always came out of them with a smile on her face. Dorothy’s a great example of how life should be lived. She was loved dearly and will forever be missed. Holidays, birthdays and just ‘everyday’ won’t be the same without her.
