Dorothy Wollmuth was born on Nov. 6, 1933, to Fred and Laura (Foley) Wollmuth on a farm in Pipestone. She was the youngest child in a family of 14 children. Life was hard in those days, but it taught her discipline and how to do everyday chores like hauling water from the stream to the house, how to raise a garden, how to can foods, how to cook, and her least favorite chore, how to dig potatoes.  Dorothy went to school for eight years in Hatfield and four years in Pipestone, graduating in 1951.
Dorothy married Marvin Loger on Nov. 3, 1954. Marvin worked at IBP for 25 years, and Dorothy at Hakes Foods, which later became Scrivner Foods, as a secretary for over 33 years. She later worked at Gold’n Plump for over three years and retired in 2002. Marvin preceded her in death on Sept. 5, 2002. Dorothy continued to reside in their home.
Dorothy was a devout Catholic and was a member of St. Catherine Catholic Church in Luverne. She loved putting 1000-piece puzzles together and then swapping them with her sisters, Louise and Janet. She was also an avid reader and loved watching western movies.
Dorothy is survived by her daughter, Marilyn DeGroot, of Rock Rapids, Iowa; grandson Jason (Jackie) Sheehan; great-grandson Justin Sheehan; great-granddaughter Courtney (Ryan) Warejcka; great-great-granddaughter Aubrey Anna; and great-great-grandson Jaxton of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; a step-son, Bradford Loger; and sister Janet VanderPlaats of Hatfield.
