The Bakersfield Californian 
Dorothy Jean Mettler
July 12, 1927 July 16, 2004

Chapel services will be held Saturday, July 24, 10:00 a.m., at Hillcrest 
Mortuary for Dorothy Jean Mettler of Bakersfield. Viewing will be at Hillcrest 
on Friday from 4:00 8:00 p.m. Dorothy was born July 12, 1927, in Chicago, IL, 
to David and Stella Nelson and passed away peacefully on July 16, 2004. 

Dorothy is survived by her loving husband of 48 years, Robert P. Mettler, and 
three daughters: Lisa and Bill Bergholdt of Northridge, CA; Paula and Patrick 
Reilly of Bakersfield; and Sara and Fred Nilson of Bakersfield. Dorothy has 
one grandson, Christopher Bergholdt. She also has two surviving siblings, 
Carol Wahl and Duane Nelson, both of Bakersfield. Dorothy leaves behind many 
beloved nieces and nephews.

Dorothy made many lifelong friends through her great generosity and her 
interests in stitchery, cooking, tennis and traveling. Dorothy and Bob were 
fixtures at The Racquet Club for many years. Dorothy enjoyed her monthly 
luncheon and stitchery group for as long as her daughters can remember. 
Dorothy was very proud of her Swedish heritage and loved to make traditional 
recipes for family and friends. She and Bob enjoyed traveling and especially 
enjoyed their trip to Sweden, catching up with distant family members. Dorothy 
also loved spending time in and around Morro Bay and in the Sequoias.

Most of all, Dorothy loved and cared for her family unselfishly and expressed 
her faith in God, appreciating each and every day. She loved and accepted 
people for the good qualities that she could always find in them and she will 
be missed beyond measure. We know that she is at peace and with her loved ones 
who passed on before her.
