Mrs. Dorothy Wery, of Stanford Street in Port Washington, passed away Wednesday morning, June 29, 2016, at Ellen’s Home in Port Washington, where she had been residing since May of this year. She was 91 years old.
Dorothy was born on January 18, 1925 in Escanaba, MI, daughter of Elmer and Luella Ruhbusch Wilson. On June 14, 1947 Dorothy was united in marriage with Glenn Wery in Escanaba. They moved to Port Washington in 1947. During their retirement, the couple enjoyed traveling.
