Dorothy Kellogg, 95, was born May 27, 1921 to Lawrence Miller and Helen (Shuber) Miller. Raised in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, she graduated in 1939. To join the war effort, Dorothy worked in a war factory as a “Rosie the Riveter.” Dorothy’s first husband, Willard “Stub” Burt, was killed in action on her birthday in 1944, three months before the birth of her first son Michael. She married her second husband Lower Kellogg in January 1947. They raised their children in Ohio and in Indiana, where she worked as a school cook and baker. They moved to Westminster, Colorado in the summer of 1972 where she worked at Miller Stockman warehouse until her early 70s. While in retirement, she assumed the role of caregiver for Lower until his passing in 2000. She lived on her own until early 2015. With the care from her son Dana, Dorothy was able to remain in her home, per her wishes, until her peaceful passing on April 21, 2017, five weeks before her 96th birthday. She was preceded in death by her sister Mildred “Midge” Heuser and her brother William Miller. Dorothy was an incredibly strong and independent woman who cared deeply for her four sons and their families. She was an avid reader who exhausted the book selection of her genre of choice at the local Senior Center.
