Dorothy was born on March 21, 1924, in Dougherty, Iowa, the daughter of William and Mary (Gallagher) Kelley. She lived in the Dougherty area until her marriage to Vern Jacobson on July 17, 1943. The couple moved to Charles City where she has lived ever since.

Dorothy worked as a technician at Salisbury for 14 years but left to become a homemaker. She took great pride in home and kept it looking beautiful. She was also a wonderful cook who could often be found in the kitchen. Dorothy also had a weakness for homemade ice cream and loved to eat it at any chance she could.

Those left to cherish her memory include her brother, Tom (Phyllis) Kelley; brother-in-law, Virgil (Shirley) Jacobson; sisters-in-law, Thelma Mooberry and Frances Kelley; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Vern, in 1998; daughter, Patricia Kaye Jacobson; and brother, Robert Kelley.

Dorothy's family would like to thank the staff at Cedar Health for the wonderful, loving care they provided to her during the past year.
