Dorothy June Voorhees was born April 2, 1926 to Harry and June (Larson) Treloar in Colton, SD, and went to be with her Lord, February 2, 2010.

Our mother was a woman of unshakable faith, devoted to Prayer and Bible study. As a wife and mother, her love was unconditional. Her words of instruction were wise and truthful, given in love. She spoke with the strength of leadership wrapped in humility. She never let life's challenges steal her joy and humor. She worked hard and noted that being Norwegian made her tough. Her favorite hymn was "In the Garden", because it spoke of the personal relationship she had with the Lord.

Dorothy is survived by her sons, Dennis (Dianna) French of Evansville, WY; Roger (Kathy) French of Custer; Bruce (Margaret) French of Custer; brother, Donald 'Bud' Treloar of AZ; sisters, Darlene Ennis of CA; Ramona Hausmann of Rapid City, SD; Patricia Talich of Rapid City; Coleen Hicks of Custer; five grandchildren, Paul; Erin; Brenda, Tammy and Tanya and nine great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and June Treloar; brothers, Al; Lowell; Waldo and Ronald.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, February 6, 2010 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Custer with Pastor Robert Anderson officiating.

Interment will follow at Custer Cemetery in Custer.
