Dorothy was born February 26, 1934 in Sioux City, the daughter of John and Ethel (Mendenhall) Severance. She was raised in Ponca, Nebraska and graduated from Ponca High School. After graduation, Dorothy worked as a legal stenographer in Ponca. She met and married Bernard Hoversten on November 24, 1956, moved to Sioux City, and they were blessed with four children. Dorothy became a full time mother and housewife, roles she was extremely proud of. Besides her family, she was also passionate about growing and tending her bountiful garden. This labor of love resulted in home-canned vegetables, fruits, jams, jellies, preserves, and more. Her baking was legendary and her recipes have been passed on to her children and grandchildren. The void in her family’s lives is immense.
Survivors include her husband Bernard Hoversten and three of her children; son Greg (Mary) Hoversten of Henderson, NV; daughter Joan (Jeff) Dunstone of The Woodlands, TX; and Susan Finney of North Sioux City, SD: eight grandchildren; Casey Hoversten, Joshua Hoversten, Alisha O’Loughlin, Adam Dunstone, Annabel Gray, Garrett Reyman, Lauren Hoversten, and Joseph Finney: seven great grandchildren: and three sisters-in-law.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, and infant brother, and her son Tom Hoversten.
