Dorothy Jean Cammack, 86, of Storm Lake, Iowa, died on Friday, January 10, 2014, in Fort Myers, Florida.

Born on November 20, 1927, in Lake City, Iowa, the daughter of George W. DeSart and Stella Mae Smith, she married Boyd V. Cammack on June 5, 1949.

Dottie devoted her life to serving God and others. A longtime member of the United Methodist Church of Storm Lake, she served as treasurer for many years, participated on several boards, and actively supported the circle. As a member of the Delphian and PEO N.L. clubs, she served in various capacities. For twenty-two years, she also served on the Care Review Committee at the Methodist Manor. In addition, she volunteered in the gift shop at the Buena Vista Regional Hospital.

Dottie and Boyd raised four daughters who have remained close and caring. While the girls were growing up, she worked at Paxton Jewelers for twenty years as a sales person.

Throughout her life, she treasured having morning coffee with friends and playing bridge. Moreover, she loved spending winters in Florida as well as traveling throughout the country, Hawaii, and the Caribbean.

Treasuring the members of her family, Dorothy loved them dearly. She is survived by her four daughters, Christine (Creston) Harris, of Fort Myers, Florida, Kathleen (Tony) Faine, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Carla (Russell) Porter, of McLean, Virginia, and Karen (Scott) Stiles, of Fort Dodge, Iowa; ten grandchildren: David (Tina), Amanda (Matthew Travis), and Doyle Harris; Brett (Elizabeth) and Jeffrey (Chelsea) Faine; Benjamin (Kristin) Brandon; and Blake Porter, Matthew, and Jennifer (Quint Howell) Stiles; and five great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband in 2007, her parents, five brothers, and three sisters. She will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.

A visitation and memorial service will be held in Storm Lake in the near future. Memorial donations may be sent to the Storm Lake United Methodist Church or the Buena Vista Regional Hospital Foundation. Cards may be sent to the family in care of Christine Harris, 11965 Cypress Links Drive, Fort Myers, Florida 33913.
