Dorothy married Guy A. Beahm in 1973. They retired to Ft. Myers, Fl., and enjoyed golf and the many "snow bird" friends they made in their churches and in the Poinsettia Park community. After Guy's death in 1994, Dorothy moved The Palms in Ft. Myers. She came to Fremont, NE in 2002, where she enjoyed living closer to her daughter as well as the many friends she made at Nye Square and First Congregational Church.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Ralph and Robert, her son Gary, and her husbands Paul and Guy. She is survived by her daughter Cheryl and husband Don Lee of Elkhorn, NE, step-son Donald (wife Linda) Beahm of Boise, ID. her niece Jan and husband Richard Denney of Sussex, WI, and her nephew Larry and wife Sandy Meyer of Harmon, IL, as well as many dear friends throughout the country.
A memorial service will be held at 10:30 AM Thursday (April 23rd, 2009) in the Wellness Center of Nye Square in Fremont, NE with the Rev. Terri Akkerman officiating. Private services will be held in the Chapel Hill Memorial Garden in Dixon, Illinois.
In gratitude for the wonderful care Dorothy received from Dr. Matthew Beacom and Dr. M. Salmon Haroon and their very caring staffs, Dorothy's family requests that memorial gifts in her honor be made to Fremont Area Medical Center and Odyssey Hospice.
