Obituary
Dorothy M. Bushell, 89, passed away
January 10, 2020, at her home in Franklin, Tenn.
following a severe stroke.
She was proceeded in death by husband, John C.
"Jack" Bushell; her parents Elmer and Marie Larson;
and brother, James Larson, all of Lincoln, and
beloved granddaughter Andrea Bushell of Ada, Mich.
Dorothy is survived by sons Brad (Penny) Bushell of
Darien, Conn., and Tim (Jane) Bushell of Thompson’s
Station, Tenn.; sisters Aileen Gilbert of Atlanta
and Carol (Gene) Liesman of Bloomington; four
grandchildren: John Bushell, Michael (Jackie)
Bushell, Jack (Giselle) Bushell, and Kate Bushell;
and great-grandson, T.J. Bushell.
Dorothy was a longtime legal secretary at Woods &
Bates in Lincoln. In 1978, she moved to Chicago as
she continued her career at Winston & Strawn. She
retired in 1994 from Thompson & Knight in Dallas to
the Tara Golf and Country Club in Bradenton, Fla.
where she enjoyed working on her golf game with
intermittent success, and schooling other club
members at bridge several times a week.

She returned to Lincoln in 2003 to
enjoy the company of family, lifelong friends, and
neighbors on Park Ave. She continued to avidly
follow her grandchildren’s activities, often
travelling to celebrate holidays and family
birthdays. She loved to attend her grandchildren’s
life events, games, and activities in person or via
live internet feeds. As a lifelong Cubs fan, she
enjoyed watching their games daily on TV.
When driving and cooking became difficult in 2016,
she moved closer to son Tim’s family and into the Lakeline Oaks
Retirement Community outside of Austin, Tex., where she made many
new friends. She moved with Tim’s family to Franklin, Tenn. in late
2019.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Holy Family Church
in Lincoln at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 25, 2020, followed by
burial in Holy Cross Cemetery and a reception at the Knights of
Columbus Hall.
Memorial donations may be made in her name to Carroll Catholic
School Teachers Fund in Lincoln.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Peasley Funeral Home of
Lincoln.
