Dorothy was the daughter of the late Eric and Wilhelmina Pearson and loving wife of the late Richard.

She was the beloved mother of Donna (Paul) Czarnik, Daniel (Jody) Lehner, and David (Melissa) Lehner; cherished grandmother of Alexander (Michaila) Czarnik, Ekaterina Czarnik, Bailey Sparrow, Sophie Lehner, Trevor Lehner, and Matthew Sparrow; and very proud great-grandmother of Molly Catherine Czarnik.  Dorothy is also survived by her brother, Richard (Grace) Pearson, her loving in-laws, and many, many nieces, nephews and cousins, so many of whom were recipients of her sweet birthday and milestone remembrances.  Family is everything.

Throughout her life, Dorothy loved God and served him in all ways. She taught her family by example.  Dorothy made friends easily and kept them always in her thoughts. There wasn't anywhere we could take her that she didn't find someone she knew.

She enjoyed working for Farmington Schools as a bus aide where she made lots of lifetime friends. She loved marching bands (particularly drum lines), the Saturday farmer's market downtown with coffee and donuts, bowling, parades, and the Founder's Festival. And so, with her signature voicemail sign-off, we say, "Talk at ya later," Mom.
