Dorothy Dahl, 64, a longtime Williston resident formerly of Tioga, passed away from natural causes on Friday, Aug. 29, 2008, at her home in Williston.
Her funeral will be celebrated Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2008, at 11a.m. at the First Lutheran Church in Tioga. Pastoral Assistant James Hamann will officiate and burial will follow in the United Cemetery in Tioga.
On Sept. 21, 1943, Dorothy Werlinger was born to John and Bernice (Flately) Werlinger in Harvey. Dorothy was one of seven daughters and three sons born to Werlingers. She was raised in Harvey and there received her schooling.
On Dec. 5, 1960, Dorothy married Howard E. Dahl of Fessenden at the Catholic church in Fessenden. The couple found their way to Tioga, where they raised their family. They would later move to Williston in the early 1980’s. Dorothy’s life was centered around their family. She took great pride in keeping a nice home for Howard and the kids. On many days she would welcome the children home with fresh baked buns and brownies.
She enjoyed golfing, camping, crocheting and watching her grandsons race stock cars.
Surviving Dorothy are her four children, Joan Gohrick and her husband, Darren, of McGregor, N.D., and their children, Jason, Joshua (wife, Chelsey), Ryan, Makenzie, Paige, Shantell and Lil’ Makenzie, Shelly Woodward and her husband, Frank, of Bixby, Okla., and their children, Brock, Chelsea and Kress, Connie Johnson and her husband, Kent, of Grace City, N.D., and their children, Jessica, Blake, Austin and Ashley, and Ronald Dahl of Tulsa and his sons, Bryce and Braden.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard in 2006; two sons, David Howard and Donald David Dahl, and her parents.
Friends may call at the Everson Funeral Home of Williston to sign the book on Monday from 1-3 p.m. and at the church in Tioga on Tuesday for the hour preceding the funeral.
