Dorothy Delores Doering was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on June 3rd, 1912, and her life ended April 30th, 2016.
Dorothy was a reference librarian for forty years at Drury College. She provided carefully selected stacks of books for generations of researchers. Dorothy was a search engine long before the internet.
During her retirement Dorothy enjoyed participating in the Ozark Gem and Mineral Society and the Democratic Party. The only things Dorothy loved more than books, rocks and politics, were cats and owls.
Dorothy's life of 103 years has been an inspiration to her family and friends who will miss celebrating life with her.
Betty, Eddie, Chris, and Susan Maples, Holly and Zach Stevens, Evan and Jane Copsey, Gary Casalo, Linda, Tami and Angie will miss her dearly.
A graveside service will be 2:00 PM Saturday, May 7, in Payne Cemetery, Nixa. On line condolences may be made to www.adamsfuneralhome.net.
