A funeral service will be held today (Wednesday, Jan. 29) at 2:00 p.m. at Randolph Funeral Home (204 N. Greeley St., Corydon), with visitation an hour prior to the service.

Dorothy was born March 6, 1919, in a farm home outside of Leon, Iowa, to John and Elyda Flynn. She married Wendell Chastain on Oct. 11, 1941. Dorothy and Wendell were Steward and Matron at the Decatur County Home for three years and at the Wayne County Home for 28 years.

Dorothy and Wendell were active in the community and with the Wayne County Fair, and were named Corydon Old Settlers of the Year in 1983. They retired in Corydon, Iowa until December 2012 when she went to live with her daughter in Winterset. Dorothy thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Dorothy is survived by her daughter Irma Jordan; her grandchildren Jill Tuttle, Lewis (Candace) Jordan, and Grant (Jessica) Jordan; seven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; her sister Pat (Max) Greenland; her sister-in-law Betty Flynn; and numerous nieces and nephews.
