Dorothy Ann Eaton

(Née Williams) Born in Indianapolis, IN, the daughter of Michael Ernest and Ruth E. (Diffenderfer) Williams. Passed away peacefully in her home in Brookfield, WI on Friday, March 28, 2014, at the age of 82.

Dorothy Ann graduated from Rockford (IL) West High School and attended Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. Preceded in death by John S. Eaton (1998). Survived by their children, son Michael and his wife Ann (children Michael (Rachel), Amanda, Alex, Aaron and Grace), daughter Janice and her husband Mike Johnson (children Nicole, Rachel, Emily and Ryan), and daughter Beth (child, Erica). In addition to her children and grandchildren, Dorothy Ann is survived by Aunt and namesake Dorothy Stokes, and close cousins Keith Williams, Sherman (Marly) Williams, and Joyce Libes. She was especially grateful for the care given by Comfort Keepers and the presence of Debbie Roske who spent so many hours with her in her final years as a caregiver and friend.

Though we grieve Dorothy Ann's passing here on earth, we rejoice in knowing that she passed peacefully and on her terms, reuniting with her sister Ernestine in the presence of the Lord.
