Dorothy Schoborg passed away at home Wednesday, December 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 SE St. Cloud. Dorothy graduated from Sauk Rapids High School in 1949 and went to work at Woolworth’s and then Vision-Ease. In the spring of 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.
