Dorothy was born the daughter of Joseph and Susan (Weis) Kramper on May 15, 1933 in Sioux City, Iowa. She grew up on a farm in Dakota City, NE. She graduated from Heelan High School and then from Briar Cliff University.

Dorothy lived most of her life in California where she worked for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). She started on the production line and worked her way into a successful career with the company.

Dorothy married Keith Chapin on April 13, 1985 in Saratoga, California. In their retirement years they toured the United States and Canada in a travel trailer. They visited every state in the U.S. and had many memorable trips cruising and flying to other countries in the world. She loved learning about the cultures and people of the places that they visited. One of the highlights of their ventures was having the opportunity to play at the home of golf, The Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland.

Dorothy touched the lives of many. She enjoyed golfing, visiting with friends and was very proud of her roses that she grew while living in California. She was very proud of her children and grandchildren and looked forward to times when they would be together.

They were excited to return to the Midwest and move to Sunrise where they met so many wonderful people and developed friendships over the years. She would always share with her family what a wonderful 43 years she and Keith were able to spend together.

Left to cherish Dorothy's memory include her husband, Keith; children, Renee (Randy) Scupin of Discovery Bay, California and Sean Pauley of Campbell, California; grandchildren and great grandchildren; brother, Vincent (Dorothy) Kramper of Dakota City, Nebraska and extended family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Susie Kramper; son, Gavin; and her brothers, Donald, Neal and Leo Kramper.
