Dorothy M. Krussell, longtime resident of Petoskey, passed away Monday, July 4, 2016, surrounded by the family she loved so dearly.
She was born Dorothy Margaret Simon on Feb. 19, 1923, near Remus, Mich., to Alfred and Cunigunda (Daniel) Simon. In March 1929 Dorothy's parents settled in Petoskey where she grew up. Dorothy attended St. Francis Xavier Catholic School through the second grade and then the old Wabmeme School until graduating in 1937.
For much of her working life, Dorothy worked as a cook in the kitchens of St. Francis Xavier Catholic School, Reus Memorial and at Northern Michigan Hospital. For many years Dorothy was a member at St. Francis Xavier Church and served on the Altar Society. She enjoyed sewing and was active with the 4-H sewing class for many years.
On Jan. 28, 1942, she married the love of her life, Julius Krussell, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. Together they shared 65 years and raised five daughters. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother who always tried to be a positive guiding force in the lives of her family. She had an endearing personality matched with a keen sense of humor, sometimes dry but always on point.
Her family will forever remember and will dearly miss her wonderful smile, the little twinkle in her eye and the special way she had of looking at you, that let you know without a word how much she loved you.
Dorothy's surviving family members include her daughters, Betty (Joe) Merrill, Barbara (Mark) Scholten, Cynthia (Jim) Brewbaker, Diana (Oliver) Grams and D.J. Krussell; 13 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; 17 great-great-grandchildren; brothers, Vin, Dan and Leonard Simon; and many nieces and nephews, including a very special niece, Carole (Doug) Melvin, and their son, Wyatt, who spent many fun nights playing dice with Dorothy.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Julius; her grandson, Oliver "Ollie Grams; granddaughter, Connie Reed; her brothers, Bill and Vern; her sister, Catherine Krussell; and sons-in-law, Jack Flynn and Mike Schmidt.
Dorothy's life will be remembered and celebrated with a funeral Mass that will take place Monday, July 11, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.
Visitation will take place Sunday afternoon from 3-5 p.m. at Stone Funeral Home; the rosary will be recited at 4:30 p.m. Dorothy will be interred with her husband, Julius, at St. Francis Cemetery.
While flowers are welcome, Dorothy's family suggests that friends consider her favorite charity, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, as an expression of sympathy.
