Doretha Aleon Peterson passed away peacefully at her daughter's home in Reno, Nevada
in the loving presence of her family on June 19, 2008 at the age of 94.
Doretha was born on April 12, 1914 in Terrill, Iowa. She was raised in rural Iowa with her
4 siblings and settled in Estherville, Iowa. She was proud of her family roots. Doretha
moved to Reno, Nevada in 2004 to be close to her loving daughter, family and the many
friends she had developed over the years.
Doretha is preceded in death by her parents John and Julia Frank, her husband Arthur
Peterson her siblings Frances, Forest and Evelyn and beloved daughter Judy Higgs and son
Steven Peterson.
Doretha is survived by her sister Verda Rierson, and husband Ervin, daughter Kay Hillerby
and husband Fred, Grandchildren Monica Sheehan and husband Steve, Greg Yolanda and Johnny
Horter, Brian Skog, Bradley Hillerby, Great-grandchildren Braxton, Max, Maizy and Brieze
and her "other daughters" Jennifer and Judy.
A very special acknowledgement to her niece Donna Mart, the "salt of the earth"
and her loving extended family; Bill Higgs, Michael, Carrie, Isabella, Emma & Maxwell
Hillerby.
Doretha lived independently at Lakeside Manor in Reno, Nevada for the past 4 years. She
enjoyed her independence with her cat, Kittums and loved it when company would come by and
sign her "guest book". We invite you to sign it now. She will enjoy reading it
on a lazy day in Heaven.
A luncheon will follow after services to celebrate Doretha's spirit. She will be
missed but not forgotten.
