Dorothy L. Clemitus, age 74, of Reedsburg, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 8, 2017, at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg. She was born on October 10, 1942, in St. Lois, MO, the daughter of Wendell and Amy (McFarland) McNay. On October 19, 1963, Dorothy was united in marriage to John Martin Clemitus in Crystal Falls, MI. This marriage was blessed with four children. John preceded her in death on October 11, 2010. Dorothy left behind a legacy that is all about strength, determination and love. She will be remembered for her strength of character and convictions, the determination to overcome any obstacle that life would throw at her, and the love that she had for those closest to her, be they friend or family. Dorothy served in the Reedsburg School District for 20 years as a Teacher’s Aid, assisting with special needs classrooms. She had a very special way with the students. They admired her, counted on her and dearly missed her when she retired. Dorothy spent her retirement with her husband, John, became snowbirds and escaped Wisconsin Winters to enjoy the Arizona warmth. They loved to travel and took many trips and enjoyed their time together. Spending time with her grandchildren was looked on as a special occasion, and was always anticipated with many great plans-many special memories were made. She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Reedsburg, and a member of the Red Hat Club where she enjoyed her friends and their many outings together. Dorothy also enjoyed casino trips and shopping- she loved a good bargain. She was also preceded in death by her son, Robert, on July 29, 1985; parents; and brother, David McNay. Dorothy is survived by her children: Kathleen (Michael) Busser of Lodi, Michel Clemitus of Omaha, NE, James (Jenifer) Celmitus of Beaver Dam; Grandchildren: Jacob and Hannah Busser, Nicholas and Christopher Clemitus , Jack and Jamie Clemitus; A very heartfelt thank you to the Agrace Hospice staff for the wonderful care given to our mother.
