Age 90, daughter of Michael and Mary Ann Zemba Kovach, she was the youngest of six children, arriving at the beginning of the Great Depression. She grew up and attended school in Curwensville, Pa., where she helped in the family store. She went on to receive her BA from Grove City College, where she met her husband, Art, and they would both go on to work as teachers before moving to North East, Pa., where Art took over the Larson family farm and Dorothy taught in the Harborcreek school district until the arrival of her daughters. She also earned a master's degree from Westminster College during her teaching career. Dorothy was active for many years in the First Presbyterian Church of North East and the Elmwood Presbyterian Lodge Auxiliary and also served as a Girl Scout troop leader. She made the Larson home a warm and wonderful place to be, and she particularly loved decorating for Christmas.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Art, her parents, and her siblings John (Helen) Kovach (d Feb 2004 in MD), Grace (Joe) Francemore, Louise Kovach, Bill (Fran) Kovach, and Jean (Joe) Kuhn.
She will be dearly missed by her surviving daughters Mary Ann Larson (Mark) of Stillwater, Okla., and Rebecca Larson (George), of North East, Pa., as well as grandchildren, and a niece and nephews.
