To the Fuller-Kleiderlein family, my deepest sympathies on the loss of this lovely woman. Dorothy worked with my grandmother, Olevia Campbell, at the township offices for many years. She always had a smile and sweet words for Olevia’s grandkids. My grandma so enjoyed working with her. The township office employees were like another family to us. Prayers for your loss.
