Dorine Kakela, age 84, of Rolla, ND passed away on Thursday, October 7, 2010, in Presentation Medical Center, Rolla, ND.

Dorine Beatrice "Bing" Kakela was born on April 30, 1926, in Rolla to Everett and Bertha (Conn) Lawler. She passed away peacefully on October 7, 2010, in Rolla at the age of 84 years.

Bing attended school in Hansboro, graduating in 1944. After Bing and Wesley Kakela met, they moved to Oregon where she worked at an airplance factory during WWII. Bing also attended beauty school at that time.

Upon moving back to Hansboro, Bing was united in marriage to Wesley on April 19, 1946, in Rolla. Together they raised two daughters, Colleen and Carolyn. Bing and Wesley farmed in Hansboro until 1964 when they moved to Rolla and built a home.

Wesley continued to farm until his death in 1999. Bing lived at home in Rolla until 2007, when she moved to Parkview Assisted Living in Rolla and then to the Bottineau Good Samaritan Center. For the last seven months she was patiently taken care of by the staff of Presentation Medical Center.

Bing enjoyed crocheting and sewing, watching curling and the Twins, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She like to travel with Wesley to see family members, and going to Arizona with the camper.
