Dorothy Anderson, age 85, (photo) went home to the Lord, Saturday morning, March 12, 2005 at Northridge Care Center, Manitowoc, where she was a long time resident.
Dorothy was born Feb. 5, 1920, the daughter of Walter and Theresa Drill.
She was a lifelong resident of Manitowoc attending St. Boniface School and graduating from Lincoln High School. She was a member of the Billy Schultz/Ringling Brothers Circus during her teenage years as a trapeze and roller-
skating artist. She broke the world's record for rotations on the revolving trapeze. She also served as a WAC in the U.S. Army in the 1940's during World War II and worked at Mirro Aluminum company for many years until retirement.
Dorothy is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law; three grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; brother-in-law; stepdaughter and husband (Survivors omitted for privacy.); nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her husband, George Anderson; her sister, Mary Ann Rosinsky; and brother, Walter Drill.

Dorothy was a very dedicated veteran of the Armed Services of our country and had a very deep-rooted faith in the Catholic Church. Her dedication to our country's service led her daughter and granddaughter to follow in her footsteps by becoming members of the U.S. Navy. Her strong faith in her religion became our strength during this past week of emotional difficulty.Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 15, 2005 at St. Paul Catholic Church, Manitowoc, with burial following at Calvary Cemetery, Manitowoc. Military graveside rites will be accorded by the VFW Otto Oas Post 659. Officiating at the Mass of Christian Burial will be the Rev. Daniel Felton.


SHE LIVES INSIDE
Your mother is always with you...
She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street
She's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well.
Your mother lives inside your laughter.
She's crystallized in every teardrop...
She's the place you came from, your first home...
She's your first love and your first heartbreak...
And nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space, not even death...
will ever separate you from your mother...
You carry her inside of you...
