Born March 18, 1923, in Cleveland, to Joseph and Anna (nee Samol) Maline of Slovakia, she passed peacefully Sunday, April 28, 2002. Interment will take place this summer in Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery near Joliet. A graduate of the Francis Payne Bolton School of Nursing in Ohio and the Naprapathy College in Illinois, Dorothy was a registered nurse (RN) and a doctor of alternative medicine and naprapathy (DN). Her lifelong interests included nutrition and continuing her education in all types of medical and spiritual care. She devoted her life to helping others, including Fred, her husband of 52 years, disabled from a spinal cord injury for 22 years, and daughter, Linda, disabled with multiple sclerosis. She always enjoyed her pets, cooking, classical music, playing the cello, sewing, knitting, dancing and traveling. Dorothy was the very first American arrival in occupied Frankfurt, Germany, where she and many other GI wives came to live with their husbands after the end of World War II. While she and Fred lived in Germany, she worked as a nurse through the Army Cadet Corps of Nurses. Her other travels included India and Costa Rica.
