Dolores was born on October 2, 1934, in Hayward Wisconsin to William Henry Wehrman and Zua Catherine Holly. She was married to Clarence Roy “Ole” Peterson on December 16, 1950, in Hayward Wisconsin. Growing up during The Great Depression made her strong willed later in life as she raised her family while working three jobs and taking care of her husband. Dolores was a loyal member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; however, her greatest passion was working in healthcare where she spent 35 years working her way from a hospital laundry room all the way to becoming a dedicated Registered Nurse. She was a generous person often giving donations to various hospitals and veterans organizations. She was a loyal Trump supporter and loved knitting and crocheting. She loved spending time with her family and especially enjoyed making breakfast for family gatherings. She was able to spend time with her great granddaughter Megan as she helped care for Dolores in recent years.

So sorry for your loss. Dot is such a s wonderful woman. After I moved away she continued to call me regularly to check in and update me on local happenings. She crocheted and knitted several beautiful things for my kids and even made my family matching winter hats. We love wearing them!
To Margaret & Mike, and Dot's family, My condolences on the loss of dear Dot. I recall working with her for years at IMH, and always enjoyed our association. May happy memories help to heal the sadness of her passing.

Prayers for each of you and your family. Cherish the memories, love each other deeply. The Schott Family.
