Dorothy (Ehmann) Cahak
She married her brother Buzz' best friend, Loren Cahak, on July 5, 1952. They lived most of their lives in Rhinelander where they raised their 11 children. She was very involved in St. Mary's (Nativity of Our Lord) church and school in Rhinelander and sang in the choir. She worked as a teacher's aide and then a legal secretary for many years. She enjoyed sewing, knitting, cooking, soap making, painting and quilting. She and Loren enjoyed traveling all over the U.S. and abroad where she also did extensive research on family genealogy. After retiring, they traveled the country in their RV to see their kids and stayed in Texas during the winters. They moved to Port Washington to be closer to family the last few years.
Dorothy is survived by her husband, Loren, of Port Washington, sister Jane (Jim) Roberts, children Joe (Beth) of Ramona, Calif., Dave (Sheila) of Bishop, Calif., Cathy (Dennis) Angell of Coon Rapids, Minn., Mary (Glen) Kraetsch of Harshaw, Amy (Scott) Hagen of Reno, Nev., Susie McVicker of Cape Carteret, N.C., Patty (Dick) Martin of Colorado Springs, Colo., Peter (Lisa) of Fort Worth, Texas; Barb (Russ) Steinmetz of Port Washington, Paul (Heidi) of Menasha, and Mark (Patty) of Oak Creek. She is also survived by 27 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers Harry (Buzz), Ron, and Jim Ehmann.
A memorial service will be planned in the future.
