Shined brightly as a devoted and generous mom
Dorothy J. Yeager, 87, of Markleysburg, went home to be with her savior, Jesus Christ, Thursday, June 20, 2013, in her home.
She was born December 5, 1925, in Richeyville, a daughter of the late John and Anna Sustrick Veverka.
Ms. Yeager shined most brightly as a devoted and most generous mom.
Surviving are a son, Richard A.

Nicknamed “The Lady on the Tractor,” she ridiculously tended to her flowers and manicured her lawn, for which she was known. She became a member of the Great Meadows Garden Club in 1989, and earned the love and respect of all, serving as president.
She served on the PGA Tour planning committee at Nemacolin Woodlands. She planned social events and won numerous awards.
Ms. Yeager was a charter member of St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church. A Christian, she was so loving and gave generously to all.
She was a graduate of Centerville High School and Washington School of Nursing. She was born to be a nurse and became a registered nurse. She worked at Washington Hospital. She was a nurse for Dr. Harold Kamons, West Virginia University department of oncology, and tended to the medical needs of all who knocked on her back door for years.
