Loken on September 21, 1938 in Steele County. Dorothy and Art purchased a farm north of St. Olaf Lake. Truly a farmer’s wife, she helped with chores, in the field, and raising orphaned animals. She was an avid cook and baker, making a variety of goodies, lefse and holiday treats for family and others. She sewed clothing, made drapes, painted and redecorated their home. Dorothy also worked at the E.F. Johnson Co. after her children were grown.
In the early ‘70s, after 35 years of farming, they retired, sold their farm and moved to Arizona due to Art’s health. Taking an interest in ceramics, crafts and plastic canvas kept them busy. During the summer months, they spent time back in Minnesota enjoying life at Leech Lake and spending time with family at their homes.
