Dorothee was born in Katowice, Poland on February 19, 1925 to Max and Elisabeth Steiner. In early 1945 she fled to Bavaria from the advancing Red Army, and later in 1948 met her sweetheart Rodney in Freising, Germany where he was stationed in nearby Erding Air Base with the US Air Force during the Berlin Airlift. She came over to America, and they were married in Salt Lake City on January 7, 1952. They made their home in Logan, Utah where she was a homemaker and helped with running her husband's business. After the children were raised, she went to work at Baugh Motel in Logan as a front desk clerk. Mom loved her Family and is remembered fondly for her delicious Cherry Chocolate Cake and German Red Cabbage. Animal welfare organizations were a great passion for her and she supported many of them. Her little dog Coco was one of her reasons for living.
