Dorothy (Anderson) Liesch, age 75, of Kaukauna went home to be with her Lord and Savior, January 20, 2019 surrounded by her beloved family. She was born October 13, 1943 in Rockford, IL, to Marion (Anstrom) and Karl Eugene Anderson. Upon graduating high school, she became an LPN at St. Vincent Hospital in the Neonatal ICU and loved caring for all the babies. While in Green Bay, she met the love of her life, Francis “Fran” Liesch. They were married on July 23, 1966.

Throughout Dorothy’s life she enjoyed working in customer service and talking with people. She spent many hours baking cakes, selling Avon and selling advertising space for the Times Villager. Dorothy, and her three sisters, loved growing up in Sturgeon Bay, WI. She was active in her church as a member of Appleton Community Church. Dorothy enjoyed spending hours with Fran driving to different locations to enjoy sunsets and visiting Door County. Dorothy also loved spending time with her grandchildren.
