Dorothy Schoborg passed away at home Dec 18, 2024, at the age of 93. She was born Dorothy Marie Prom, April 10, 1931, in Mayhew Lake to Ed and Marie (Bromenschenkel) Prom. She was raised on a farm in southeast St. Cloud. Dorothy graduated from Sauk Rapids High School in 1949, and went to work at Woolworth’s and then Vision-Ease. In spring 1952, a handsome young man moved onto the neighboring farm. By Christmas, they were engaged and the following September they married at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church, and began their life of children and farming. After 1.5 years, they bought a small farm south of St. Cloud where she lived the remainder of her life. They grew their own food, worked hard and played hard, and lived a life of integrity and faith. Dorothy enjoyed gardening, scrapbooking, wildlife drives, making Christmas ornaments, garage saling and coffee time with her family.
