Dorothy was a caregiver to all, both at home and as a nursing assistant at St. Lukes and St. Joseph Home for the Aging. She also loved to garden and be outdoors.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to Pro-Life Wisconsin are appreciated. Dorothy’s family would like to especially thank the aides who took such great care of mom over the last few years.
Mrs. Ackerman is fondly remembered as a kind and loving neighbor who was always good to the neighborhood children. Her backyard was always a fun place where we played games, put on shows and had tasty treats that she baked. I cherish my childhood memories of her and her family. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
