Dorothy M. Hollister, 81, of Waterford, passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side on Nov. 27, 2020.
Dorothy was born to Walter and Elsie M. (nee Umland) Scholz Nov. 7, 1939 in the Town of Aniwa. She attended Mattoon High School and spent most of her early life up north in the Mattoon area until 1979 when she moved to Waterford.
