Family and friends are invited to gather on Wednesday at the church in
Rozellville from 9 a.m. until the time of service.
The honor of pallbearer belongs to Dorothy’s grandsons, Steven Carey, David
Carey, Joseph Carey and Alex Thompson. Honorary pallbearers will be her
granddaughters, Natalie Thompson and Kassidy Thompson. Laurel Carey and Michael
Thompson will be presenting the readings for the service.
Dorothy was born on Feb. 28, 1936, in East Chain, Minn., the daughter of Arthur
and Alta (Mapson) Temple. After receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in
education, Dorothy worked as an elementary school teacher for 10 years. On May
6, 1967, Dorothy was united in marriage to Gerald “Jerry” Carey in East Chain,
Minn. She stepped away from teaching in order to devote her time and talents in
raising her family and being a dedicated wife and mother.
She was a member of Saint Andrew’s Catholic Church, a longtime member of the
American Dairy Goat Association, a leader in 4-H for over 30 years, and a
current goat superintendent for the Wisconsin Valley Fair held in Wausau.
Dorothy’s hobbies included cooking delicious meals for her family, canning her
tomatoes which always tasted better than anything from a can and camping. By far
her greatest love was her two sets of “kids”. First, her children and
grandchildren, and second, her prized champion dairy goats. She loved to brag
about both.
Survivors include her husband, Jerry of Stratford; her children, Tim (Laurel)
Carey of Stratford and Lisa (Michael) Thompson of Stratford; her grandchildren
Steven, David, Joseph, Alexander, Natalie and Kassidy; her two brothers, Paul
(Mary) Temple of Post Falls, Idaho, and William (Patricia) Temple of Duluth,
Minn.; along with many other nieces and nephews; other relatives and friends.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Alta; a son, Scott in
1991; a daughter in infancy in 1969; and brother-in-law, Robert Carey.
If desired, memorials in Dorothy’s name are being accepted by her family to
either The National Kidney Foundation or to Saint Andrew’s Catholic Church.
Her arrangements are under the care of Life Tributes Funeral Home-Spencer.
