Dorothy was born in Maple Grove, Michigan on May 26, 1928 to Julius and Loretta (Eickholt) Andres. As a child she loved riding her horse, Golden Boy. Later as a teen she proudly rode a Whizzer motor bike which transported her to and from work at the grain mill in Montrose. Dorothy graduated from St. Michael High School and a few years later married Robert "Jay” Koan on October 22, 1949. He preceded her in death on August 9, 2013. She enjoyed word search books, gardening, watching birds and watching old Western movies with her son Ray. She loved her cat Sassy who brought her a lot of joy. Dorothy was a great cook and made the best Sunday roast beef dinners for her family. She loved to attend St. Roberts church and when she couldn’t attend in her later years she would watch Sunday mass on tv and have communion brought to her by her best friend, Joyce. Her favorite time spent though, was with her family, during their get togethers. The family would like to give special recognition to her son, Art, who has always been there for her.
