Dorothy Germain, age 91, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 10, 2025, at the Isabella County Medical Care Facility, surrounded by her family. Born on March 18, 1933, in Rosebush, Michigan, she was the cherished daughter of the late Henry and Josephine (Dora) Wentworth.

She would welcome her younger siblings, Frank, Leonard, Annabell (Sister Josepha), Andrew, Thomas, Gene, Fern, and Clair 'Butch'. Dorothy married Robert A. Germain on October 6, 1952, at St. Henry's Catholic Church in Rosebush, and they enjoyed many wonderful years together until his passing in 2000.

For 45 years, Dorothy dedicated her career to furniture upholstery, showcasing her skills as a talented seamstress. She found joy in sewing and cake decorating, and her love for her family was evident in the cherished moments spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
