Dorothy Iler known by all as Dot or Dottie was known best to all for her love of her family and her husband (Dick Iler) of 62 years of marriage, they were married June 4, 1950 in Marion and he died February 4, 2012. Together they were known in the community of Prospect where they made their home after moving from Marion with their two sons.
Dorothy met Dick in Sunday School at Wesley Methodist Church in Marion. They joined St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where Dot was a volunteer at the library. Dot loved to read books and would read as many as two or three a week. They also were avid golfers and Dot was on the Ladies League at Kings Mill as well as a Friday Couples League. Dot was known for her pie making. The whole family enjoyed her delicious pies, and many others were blessed with them. Dot also belonged to the Crafter's Guild for many years. Dot and Dick traveled to England, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Bahamas, and many other places during their retirement years. They were also snowbirds in the Carolina’s. Dot loved to spend time with her grandchildren who have many memories of their times together.
Dot worked at City Hall in Marion as a billing clerk. Prior to this she sold Avon and Kevin and Kirk would travel with her making her deliveries. Dot graduated from the Harding High School in 1947.
