Dorothy M. Darr passed away at Kingston of Perrysburg on Easter Sunday April 11, 2023 at the age of 100. She ascended into heaven, hand in hand, with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Dorothy was born in Broomfield, Colorado on October 17, 1922, to the union of Grayson H. Barnett and Gertrude D. (Dawkins) Barnett. After the births of her two brothers, the young family moved to Platte County, MO where she attended a one room schoolhouse. In order to attend high school in North Kansas City, MO, she performed housekeeping duties for a family in exchange for room and board. After her graduation in 1940, she attended Kansas City College of Commerce.

Dorothy embodied the spirit of Christianity by always putting the needs of others ahead of her own. She established herself as a quiet presence serving as a Cub Scout den mother, volunteer cafeteria worker at St. Rose School, president and hostess for the Welcome Wagon Club of Perrysburg, secretary at the former Nollenberger Ford in Stoney Ridge, OH, secretary in the Sociology Dept. at BGSU and secretary at the First United Methodist Church, Perrysburg. But nothing was more important to her than her family. She found great joy in preparing extravagant meals for them, especially during the holidays.

Dorothy was pre-deceased by her parents; brothers, Richard S. and William D. Barnett; husband, and special friend, Robert Zulauf.
