Doralene "Dory" Carol Hoffhein
Dory graduated high school in Rhinelander. She was united in marriage to George Hoffhein on Feb. 18, 1956. During their 39 years of marriage, Dory and George were brought to many places around the globe due to George's service in the Army. Dory especially loved Germany and Hawaii.
Dory, along with George, owned and operated both the Fenlon Café and Lounge and The Garden of Eatin' in Rhinelander for more than 30 years upon returning to Rhinelander in 1985. Dory loved to stay busy in the community; she helped charter the Harmony Lions Club, one of the first women's Lions Association Clubs in the area. She also helped to organize and was instrumental in the planning of the city-wide Easter Egg Hunt and the early years of Oktoberfest.
Dory enjoyed golfing, boating, and spending time with her family, friends, and her beloved dog, Izzy.
She is preceded in death by her husband, George; parents, Malvern, and Viola Meisler; siblings, Robert, Joyce, Beverly, Collin, and an infant brother Jeffery; first born son, Samuel, and an infant son, Joe.
She is survived by daughters Kim (Jeff) Haenel, Miki (Mike) Walker; grandchildren, Renee (Mike Meyers), Samuel Jr., Joshua, Matthew, and Andrea; great-grandchildren, Jake, Morgan, Isaac, Hailey, and Adaline; many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
