Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Robert and one sister, Eunice Novak of Wisconsin. Her parents were George and Agnes (Vogt) Luebke of Kaukauna, Wisconsin. Dorothy was the oldest of five children, born in her grandparent's bedroom in Town of Buchanan, Wisconsin on May 8, 1919. She graduated from Kaukauna High School and from Oshkosh Business College, worked at the Institute of Paper Chemistry at Lawrence College, then married. During her husband's 20-year Army career they lived in Germany, Washington State, Texas and California, finally settling in Riverside in 1956, in part due to the excellent school system. In Riverside she worked for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, then later at UCR in the Architect's and Engineer's Office.

She loved gardening and was especially proud of her extensive rose garden and lush pomegranate trees. She loved to travel, both around the United States as well as to Holland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France, Mexico, Spain, Peru, and Morocco.
