Dorothy Ann Miller was born March 19, 1947, to John and Katherine Plaggemeyer in Strasburg, ND. She lived in Pollock, SD, moving to Sturgis with her family when she was 13.

Dorothy married Walter Conway. To this marriage, three children were born; Walter, Ronald, and Kathryn. While her kids were growing up, Dorothy was also like a second mother to many of their friends. She always had a funny story to tell about her children and their friends and cousins.

In 1985, Dorothy met Robert Miller. They were married in 1987. That same year, a son, Jaread, was born.

Dorothy had an undying devotion to family, especially the young children. They could always find comfort in her arms, especially when being scolded by their parents. Her gentle touch and laid-back attitude gave you a sense of comfort when in her presence.

Dorothy passed away on her 68th birthday, March 19, 2015, after a very short battle with cancer.

Dorothy is survived by her four children, Walter (Donna) Conway, Rapid City, Ronald Conway, Sturgis, Kathryn Hulbert, Sturgis, and Jaread (Amy) Miller, New Salem, ND; four brothers, Jim (Vanessa) Plaggemeyer, Neil (Nancy) Plaggemeyer, Larry (Connie) Plaggemeyer, and Lloyd (Cindy) Plaggemeyer; sister-in-law, Julie Plaggemeyer; nine grandchildren, Cassandra Conway, Janie Conway, Tasha Conway, Jennifer Mertz, Kiley Vansickle, Hannah Conway, Shauna Hulbert, and Kolter and Kasyn Miller; nine great-grandchildren; special someone, Kim; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband, Robert; granddaughter, Kira; three brothers, Dick, Ronnie, and Gary Plaggemeyer; and sister, Anna Marie.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Sturgis Senior Citizens Center in memory of Dorothy.
