Dorothy Marie Mayo

Dorothy (Dottie) was escorted by angels into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Friday, October 16, 2020.

Born November 19, 1920, in Lansing, she knew Jesus at a very young age through her Grandmother, Bertha Blinn, whom she loved so very much.  Dorothy was a life-long, faithful member of Lutheran Churches in Lansing and Hastings, MI.

After graduating from Saginaw High School in 1938, Dorothy again moved to Lansing during the depression days. Her first job was at Hunts Food Shop in East Lansing. During WWII, she transferred to the Meter Department at Consumers Power Company.

In 1945, Dorothy met the love of her life, Earl Mayo, at a Consumers Power picnic.  They married February 2, 1946 at Peoples Church in East Lansing. They were blessed with four children; Steven (Kathy), Robert (Sharon), Laura (David) and Thomas, all of whom have survived her.

After moving to Hastings in 1958, Dorothy worked for Attorney Richard Shuster as a Paralegal Secretary in 1963, and then as the Office Administrator for Dr. Robert Pryor.  She ended her career at Viking Corporation as an office Administrator until her retirement in 1988.

Also surviving Dorothy are 6 grandchildren: Joe, Tim, Chris, Lisa, Stephanie, and Steven; 5 great-grandchildren: Jacob, Joshua, Joe, Mackenzie, and Madison. Her beloved husband Earl preceded her in death in October 2002.

Dorothy's life was full, well-lived, faithfully praying for us all every day of her beautiful life. She was a blessing to so many, and will be greatly missed.
