Alan Lee Dodd was born on October 5, 1931 in Marshalltown, Iowa, the son of Otis Allan and Ann Charlotte Petermeier Dodd. He was raised and educated in rural Baxter, and graduated from Rhodes High School in 1950. He served in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict, and was honorably discharged as a sergeant. On July 18, 1953, he was united in marriage to Juanita Gallentine in Marshalltown, Iowa. Following his marriage he was employed by Fisher Controls and Jack Arney, and later purchased Shavers Apco in 1963. He changed the name to Dodd's Service and in 1967 moved from the service station to the sanitation business, E-Z Sanitation, because of the relocation of Highway 14 North. He was a member of the Central Christian Church where he served as a deacon, an elder and board chairman, Marshalltown (Noon) Kiwanis where he served as President, Lt. Governor, and chairman of several district committees, and Frank Lewis Glick Post #46 of the American Legion. Alan is survived by his wife; Juanita Dodd of Marshalltown, children: Linda (Steven) Smith, Mike (Tracy) Dodd, Karen (Bruce) McBride, all of Marshalltown; and a sister, Geraldine Miller, Seattle, Washington. He was preceded in death by his parents and daughter, Teri in 1957.
