Dolly Krowen

    WESTBY ~ Funeral Services for Dolly Krowen will be conducted 10AM Friday at the
    Plentywood Lutheran Church with Pastor Ron Martin-Dent officiating.   Burial will
    immediately follow at the Plentywood Memorial Cemetery.   Fulkerson Funeral Home of
    Plentywood is in charge of arrangements. Dolly, 79, died Sunday morning September 21,
    2008 at the Sheridan Memorial Hospital in Plentywood.

    Dolly M. Krowen was born March 29, 1929 to Harry & Blanche (Crouse) Brightsman at the
    family farm north of Raymond. She was baptized and confirmed in the Trinty Lutheran
    Church.  She was a dedicated member of the Ladies Auxiliary American Legion Post #58 of
    Plentywood. Dolly worked as a waitress in several different locations  until settling in the
    Westby area  after marrying  Marlow Krowen on August 28, 1982.

    She will be remembered as a redheaded beauty of a mom that always stood  behind her
    family whether they were  right or wrong.    Her husband Marlow recollects that  it took him  
    40 years to convince her to marry him.   Dolly loved to sing, yodel and  dance.  Her
    grandchildren will give testimony  that when grandma wanted to dance,  there was no
    resisting her.

Dolly loved and was always most comfortable at  her home on the farm especially during her illness. She loved to cook, can and garden.  
She had her grandchildren plant her last garden this year, all of which they were not sure what they were planting.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her son Larry Kelm; her son-in-law John Zuris and her sister June M. Kirchner.

Dolly is survived by her husband Marlow N. Krowen of Westby; her late son  Larry Kelm's surviving wife Bev Johnson and their children
Debbie Abar, Shari St. John, Brenda McNeil, Randy Kelm and Jason Kelm; her five children:  Sharon (Bob) Hoeft of Michigan,  her
children Paul Turner ,  Ryan Turner and Katherine Hoeft; Eileen Zuris of Gt. Falls, her children Paula Kuebler and John Zuris; Fredie
(Cindy) Kelm of Pasco, WA.,  his children Christopher Kelm,  Jennifer Kelm; Lori (Wesley) Godijohn of Plentywood,  her children Jesse
Schoepper,  Tammie Godijohn and Tina Godijohn; Randy Bell of Ashland, Ohio; his children Troy Bell, Cody Bell and Bailey Bell; along
with 15 great  grandchildren and one on the way.
