Dorothy was born Feb. 2, 1916, in Tampa, Fla., to William M. and Ivy E. (Drew) Webb. She grew up in Tampa, where her father owned a small grocery store. Her mother's grandparents were one of the cofounders of Clearwater, Fla. After high school, she moved to Macon, Ga., to work in a artillery factory. It was there that she met her future husband, Marvin Miner. Marvin was stationed at a nearby military base during World War II.
The couple married Nov. 5, 1945. Marvin passed away Jan. 13, 1994. They spent their first year in Tampa before moving to Marvin's home town of Wakefield, Neb. Later, the couple moved to Oakland, Iowa, then to Sioux City. In 1968, they moved to Garden City, Kan., where Marvin worked for Northern Natural Gas. After retiring, the couple returned to Sioux City. They spent the next 15 winters in Hudson, Fla.
She was a member of Morningside Presbyterian Church for 30 years. When the family was growing up, they would sing songs around the piano. She learned to play the piano by ear, learning from her mother, who played for church services when she was growing up. She enjoyed bowling, which she did until she was 87 years old, camping and fishing in Minnesota, sewing and making crafts. She could make anything with her hands.
Survivors include two daughters, Dottie Sue and Dr. R.P. Dexter of Cameron, Texas, and Margie Nicolls of Sioux City; a son, James and Marlene Miner of Garden City, Kan.; seven grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a son-in-law, Dan Nicolls; a grandson, Scott; five brothers, William, Theodore, Douglas, Lawrence and Francis Webb; and a sister, Mary Webb.
Pallbearers will be her grandchildren.
