Dorthea (Dorothy) Worrell (née Flöss) passed away peacefully at her home on December 7, 2023, at the age of 86. She was born in a small village in Northern Italy and worked on her family farm and later with the USO. She was proceeded in death by her husband, Walter S. Worrell Jr. They met and fell in love while Walter was in the U.S. Army stationed in Italy. They married in 1958 and a few years later moved to the United States.


Dorothy was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who enjoyed crocheting for her kids and grandchildren. She enjoyed watching football, bowled in multiple leagues, and read books cover-to-cover in one sitting. She loved nature and always had multiple hummingbird feeders to attract them to her yard. She enjoyed visiting the forest to be surrounded by greenery and loved the smell of fresh pine trees. She was a full-time homemaker who raised five rambunctious kids with patience and lots of love.


Survivors include her brother, Ewald Biemans, her two daughters: Carol Worrell, Janet (Steve) Wark, three sons: David (Lily) Worrell, Jerry (Sue) Worrell, Michael (Amy) Worrell, six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She will be deeply missed by her friends, family, and all who knew her.
