Born in Chicago, Ill., she attended local schools and in 1943 married Robert Redemske. A loving mother, she stayed at home to raise her family, using her creative talents to make a wonderful home. In 2007, Dorothy moved to Maine. She loved music and really enjoyed attending local musical events. Also, a member of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, she enjoyed visiting the gardens in all seasons.
