She was born to Adolph and Elizabeth (Neuman) Wesner on June 11, 1925 and grew up on a dairy farm just outside the city limits of Gillett with her younger brother, Arden. Dorothy attended Gillett Public Schools and Gillett High School. Upon her graduation she worked in office administration. On August 30,1947, Dorothy was united in marriage to Francis (Frank) Melchior, who was also a life long resident. Together they raised four children; Tom, Betty, Dan, and Barb. They would celebrate 63 years of marriage before Frank’s death in 2011 and have many wonderful close friends and neighbors over the years. Many of those friends and neighbors became regular visitors and helped Dorothy as she aged. The family wishes to sincerely thank and acknowledge them for their years of friendship to her.
Dorothy was an avid reader and worked daily crossword puzzles. She worked at several jobs over the years, but being a supportive wife and devoted mother was her greatest accomplishment. She was a member of the VFW Auxiliary and also a long time member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Gillett.

Also surviving her are her grand-children Ryan Melchior, Courtney (Dave) Watry, Nathan (Jessica) Larscheid, Luke (Jessica) Melchior, Zachary Hudek, and Elizabeth Sternweis. She was always delighted in seeing her great grand-children: Kyle, Derek, and Isabel Watry; John and David Melchior; Natalie, Julia, and Matthew Larscheid; Samuel and Oliver Melchior; and Emma Sternweis.
