Dorothy was a beloved Mother to Kathleen Sanetra, Philip (Linda) Cook, Steven (Sheila) Cook, and Joseph (Debbie) Cook.

Grandmother to Robert (Hannah), Sam (Morgan), Shaely, Christopher, Kelly, Danny (Miriam) and Jason who will miss her dearly.

Dorothy was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 19, 1938 to the late Walter John Caspers and Nancy Caspers.

Upon retirement, Dorothy and Phil moved to The Villages in 2005. Dorothy enjoyed Florida and socializing with friends and neighbors. She loved cooking for everyone, especially her family.

Dorothy loved the warm Florida weather, playing cards, and Mahjong. She was a big fan of all her Chicago teams (Bear, Cubs and Blackhawks), Fannie May, and Lake Michigan “Chicago” water. She loved all her dogs and loved to visit with her Grandpups.

Dorothy will be missed terribly by her family and friends both near and far.

In keeping with Dorothy’s wishes there will be no services.
