ST. ANSGAR — Dorothy June Navratil, 49, died Saturday (Dec. 5, 1998) at Mitchell County Regional Health Center, Osage, ending her courageous battle with cancer.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Grafton, with the Rev. Rose Marie Nack officiating. Burial will be in the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery, St. Ansgar.
Family will receive friends from 5:30 to 8 p.m. today at Schroeder & Sites Funeral Home, St. Ansgar.
Dorothy was born on April 3, 1949, in Osage, the daughter of Kenneth and Leona (Erdman) Horgen. She grew up in rural St. Ansgar, where she graduated from St. Ansgar Community High School.
She attended the Rochester School of Practical Nursing, Rochester, Minn., and earned her degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
Dorothy was baptized a child of God, and confirmed her faith at Immanuel Lutheran Church, St. Ansgar, where she married Jerry Dean Navratil on March 22, 1969.

The companionship of her children, family and many friends was a source of great joy for Dorothy. Having grown up and lived most of her life on a farm, she loved being outdoors and found peace working the soil of her flower and vegetable gardens. She also enjoyed quilting and sewing, fashioning many hand-made gifts for her loved ones. Her strength and spirit will be sadly missed.
