Obituary
Dorothy Mae (Ellsworth) Hasenmyer
passed away on November 18, 2024, in Auburn, WA.
Born July 30, 1930, in Mott, North Dakota, to Irvin
Winston and Zatha Belle (Anderson) Ellsworth. She
married G. Dean Hasenmyer June 16, 1957, in
Springfield, IL, at First Christian Church.
She graduated from Southwest Missouri State
University in 1954. She dedicated her career to
teaching for 38 years in elementary schools. She
received a certificate from Reading Recovery - a
program that allowed her to help students rapidly
improve literacy and achieve confidence that
provides them with necessary skills to lead a
successful life. After almost four decades, Dorothy
retired and continued to enrich the lives of
children as a reading skills tutor in local schools
and in her community. Her impact on her community
was significant and will be remembered by the
students and families she worked with for years to
come.
She is survived by one child, Carl
Dean Hasenmyer; five grandchildren, Kevin (Pamela),
Melissa, Erin (Jonathan), Katie, and Lucas; and five
great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two
sisters, Fern (Dean) Williams and Verna (Larry)
Hughes; and one brother, Dan (Ginger) Ellsworth.
