Gertrude Dorothy "Dot" Davis

November 16, 1913 — November 12, 2013

Dorothy Davis, age 99, of Appleton, passed away peacefully to join her loving husband Chet, on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. She was born on November 16, 1913, in Flintville, the oldest of thirteen children to John and Sophie (Pavlak) Muraski. Dorothy moved to Appleton and worked at Scolding Locks where she met Chet, the only man she would ever love. On October 9, 1946, Dorothy married Chet at St. Mary Catholic Church in Appleton. She was a faithful member and devout catholic. Dorothy was an outgoing, friendly, vibrant and loving individual who enjoyed many activities. Bowling was one of mom's passions; she bowled until the age of 90, keeping an amazing 130 average. Dorothy loved playing cards, bingo, going for car rides, and even taking an occasional trip to a casino. Mom's greatest joy in life had been spending time with her family and with her best friend Margaret.
Dorothy is survived by her four loving children: Mary (Mike) McGuire of Sherwood, Sue (Phil) Daniel of Bloomington, Illinois, Don (Pat) Davis of Forest Junction and Pat (Paul) Olander of Menasha; grandchildren: Brian (Stephanie) McGuire and Julie (Steven) Cox; Chris (Michele) Moericke, Jeff (Lora) Moericke and Nathan (Valerie) Davis; Sara Hankes, Matthew (Julie) Bay, Katie (Adam) Almquist and A.J. (Jenny) Olander; great grandchildren: Connor, Maia, Rowan, Morgan, Madysen, Wilson, Hailey, Ellison, Caitlyn, Nora, Hailey, Gianna, Veronica, Audrey and Lucas; sisters and brother: Mary Ann, Jane, Carol, Evie and Don. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband, Chet and several siblings.
