Dorothy was born July 22, 1940, in Otto Township, Ottertail, the daughter of Lloyd and Myrtle (Wells) Scheiding. Dorothy was a wonderful woman who lived a hell of a life. She raised 11 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.

Dorothy is survived by eight children, Barb (Kyle) Branchaud, Motley, Minn., Rick (Veronica) Vennes, Richville, Laurie (Mike) Walters, Perham, Larry Vennes, Richville, Lloyd (Lena) Hunter, Circle Pines, Minn., Judy Woody, Henning, Joan (Steve) Villnow, Vergas, and Kyle Hunter, Richville; daughter-in-law, Tracy Hunter, Richville; 19 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; three brothers, Lloyd “Sonny” Scheiding, Underwood, Minn., Wayne (Patti) Scheiding, Hollywood, Md., and John (Sue) Scheiding, Wadena; and three sisters, Judy (Bob) Cole, Alaska, Mary (Randall) Long, Apalachicola, Fla., and Mag (Paul) Greenwood, New York Mills.

Preceding Dorothy in death are her parents, Lloyd and Myrtle Scheiding; son, Alan Hunter; two daughters, Heidi and Sandra Hunter; granddaughter, Jessica Walters; two sisters, Linda Whitney and Bonnie Jean Scheiding; and son-in-law, Chris Villnow.
