Dorothy Arlene Aspelmeier, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2025, at the age of 105. Born on January 28, 1920, in Connecticut, Dorothy lived a vibrant life full of love and creativity.

Dorothy was the beloved wife of the late Conrad Aspelmeier. She cherished her family, leaving behind three devoted sons and their wives, Conrad and his wife Carol, Robert and his late wife Marlene, and Bert and his wife Kathryn. 

Dorothy was the proud grandmother of five-Tracie Young, Connie Heffner, Kevin Aspelmeier, Holly Aspelmeier Kilby, and Joy Naill.

She is preceded in death by her brothers William G. Spare and Bert F. Spare

In her younger years, Dorothy found solace and satisfaction in gardening. Her artistic talents shone brightly through her hand tatting, drawing, painting, and textile art. She had a fondness for reading murder mysteries and also adored animals, regularly feeding birds and squirrels in her yard, and cherished shopping outings with her grandchildren, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
