Dorothy Boyd

Dorothy Boyd, age 91, passed away at Crescent Nursing Home on October 25th, 2016, after a long illness. She was born to Easm & Mary Hollens in Falls City, Nebraska, on December 15, 1924. She later married Daryl Boyd and had two children, a daughter Karen Kay of Falls City, NE and a son Ronald Boyd who died in December of 2000.

After her husband Daryl passed away in the spring of 1973, Dorothy got together with her life partner of 43 years, Don Gress. They shared his 6 children, 12 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren. She had 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren of her own that live in both Falls City, NE and Kansas, MO.

Dorothy was a fabulous cook, classy dresser, and collector of shoes. She kept a clean house and enjoyed crafts, flipping through magazines and cooking up delicious meals and desserts. At times a witty humor would sneak out.

She is preceded in death by her loving husband Daryl, son Ronald, her parents, brothers Easm and Earl Hollens, sisters Evelyne Barber and Mildren Frederick, and her oldest sister Lila who died when she was 10 years old.

A Celebration of Life is planned for Saturday, October 29, 2016, at the Broadmoor Community Clubhouse, 55 W. Washington Ave, Yakima.
