Dorothy was born to Ernest and Bertha Larson in Portland Oregon. She was the 9th of 11 children. There are many nieces and nephews, as you can imagine.
Dorothy married Sam Asberry in April 1950 and remained so until Sam’s death in March of 2002. They were married for over 50 years.
Dorothy and Sam adopted five children and then had one of their own. Later in life they adopted Brittany. Bringing the total to 7.
Dorothy married Don Nissen in August, 2009. They made each other very happy. Going around singing songs that nobody else knew. Lots of laughing.
Dorothy did daycare for many years, helping to raise a bunch of other Rogue Valley children (too many to list), who were all loved like her own. She would get up every morning and put on her beautiful clothes and jewelry in order to greet the kids. She always wanted to look her best! She had an abundance of love for little ones.
She was preceded in death by Kelly, Sam, Don, and Kim. She is survived by Terry, Kristi, Scott, Kandi, Brittany and grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Dorothy (mom, grandma, wife, friend, and boss) will be missed by so many.
May you Rest in Peace and find oodles of happiness.
