Obituary:
Dorothy M. Planner, age 92, died on the 9th of June at Brewster Village in Appleton, Wisconsin.
She was born September 30, 1920 in De Pere, Wisconsin to the late Peter and Rose Van De Hey. She was one of twelve children.
Dorothy was a member and active volunteer of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Appleton, Wisconsin. In addition to her volunteer work along with her late husband, Thomas Planner, after retirement they enjoyed golfing and the company of friends at Riverview Country Club. An avid bridge player until her death, she also loved reading, knitting and a good political discussion.
Dorothy is preceded in death by her husband of fifty years, Thomas H. Planner, her parents and eleven siblings.
She is survived by her children: Anne M. Planner of Sun City Center, FL; Margaret Planner (James Curtis) of Madison, WI; William J. Planner (Bonne) of Appleton, WI; three grandchildren: Allison Carroll (Andrew) of Chandler, AZ; Katie Butman (Rye) of Chicago, IL; Elizabeth Hardy (Jesse Nicita) of Los Angeles, CA; a step- granddaughter: Sarah Curtis (Jordan Fineberg) of Minneapolis, MN; and great grandchildren William and Henry Butman, and Alex and Erik Fineberg.
Her children will remember her as a woman who started her life with little yet achieved success. She was a fiercely independent and bright woman: a "women's libber" way before her time. We feel certain she already has God's legions playing bridge and discussing politics. She will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
A Memorial Service to celebrate Dorothy's life will be held at 10:30 am on Wednesday, June 12, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 312 South State Street, Appleton. Friends may visit directly at the church on Wednesday from 9:30 am until the time of service.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the caregivers at Brewster Village Manor and the nurses from Theda Clark Hospice Care, especially Susie.
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to St. Vincent DePaul and Hospice Theda Care.
