Ionia Sentinel Standard, 10 Aug 2005

Dorothy M. Converse, of Ionia, was born in Belding on May 26, 1911 and passed 
away from this life on Sun., Aug. 7, 2005 at the age of 94.

She was the only child of Grace and Olon L. Taft, who preceded her in death 
many years ago.  Dorothy graduated from Belding High School in 1929 and began 
working at the Metal Glass Company.  In 1931, she married Glenn A. Converse of 
Lowell.  During their married life they lived in Greenville, Belding and Ionia.

Dorothy worked for many years and retired from the State of Michigan in 1973.  
After her retirement, she and Glenn bought a mobile home in Dade City, Fla.  
Although Glenn passed away in 1978, Dorothy continued her annual trips until 
the age of 80.  She enjoyed her many Florida friends and her position as the 
Entertainment Director for the Park.  Dorothy was very artistic.  Even as a 
young girl, she made beautiful things with her hands.  Her arts and crafts 
projects continued throughout her life and exist as a lasting remembrance of 
her.

Dorothy is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Linda L. and Anthony 
Juliano of Lansing; her sister-in-law and brother-in-law Ruth and James Monroe 
of Lansing; her niece, Carol Johnson of New Era and her children Steven, David 
and Karen.
