Marie Louise Dorsett Obituary (2023)

Marie Louise Dorsett sadly left us to be with her Heavenly Father on November 20, 2023, at the age of 82, with family by her side. Marie was born on August 14, 1942, in Yakima, Washington, to parents Eva Mae Cochran of Yakima, Washington and Burl Thomas of Porter Oklahoma. Marie graduated from business college in Yakima. Marie married Ron A. Dorsett on June 11, 1971. With their combined families they have five children. Marie worked for many businesses as a bookkeeper and loved working for the Kirbits Family at their pharmacy for many years. She started her Antique business, Antiques Etc., in her home in 1985. She then started one of the first Antiques Malls on 3rd Avenue, until she moved it into her family farmhouse on Tieton Drive in 1990 and remained there until her retirement in 2016. She still found joy hunting for antiques to buy and sell. She cherished all the relationships she had developed with her customers. Truly was one of the things she missed once she retired, seeing all her shop friends. She will always be a part of Antiques Etc. Marie is preceded in death by both her parents, brother, James LD Thomas, granddaughter, Ashtin Dorsett, grandparents, aunts, and uncles on both sides of the family.
