She was a consummate professional; her typing and shorthand skills were nothing short of amazing.

Dorothy spent her leisure time studying Scripture, some of which included summer camps taught by seminary professors. She taught Sunday School for 35 years and loved teaching young children.

Dorothy was very active at First Lutheran Church where she volunteered countless hours in the office and to the choir, Stewardship board, and various offices of the Women’s group. Dorothy was also a very active volunteer at Mercy Hospital and the Hedberg Public Library in Janesville.

Other hobbies included bowling, golf, watching all manner of sports on television, and baking.

She was preceded in death by her parents James and Anna Mishler, brother Robert L. Mishler, nephew Robert A. Mishler, and her beloved twin sister Doris E. Mishler.

Special thanks is extended to Pastor James Johnson, Dr. Ramsey, Dr. Thomassen, many friends and neighbors for visits, calls, errands, and words of encouragement. Deepest appreciation to the Pinnow and Hart families for their unending support.
