Dorothy Mae Nagl, daughter of Joseph and Clara (Satzer) Nagl was born on January 28, 1933 at Scott Township, near Morris, Minnesota.

She was united in marriage to Charles William Schuelke on April 21, 1954. The couple lived in numerous places throughout Charles' career in the U.S. Air Force, before settling in Orange County, California. Dottie worked for the Sears & Roebuck Company before working as a secretary at a law firm. She also worked as a bookkeeper for a manufacturing company, before going back to school. Dottie graduated from Coastline Community College on June 5, 1992. She then worked at the college in the risk management department before retiring in 2009.
Dorothy enjoyed cooking, family gatherings, interior decorating, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. She loved trips to Minnesota, the mountains, and the beach. Dorothy will be most remembered for her sense of humor and the way her eyes lit up when she smiled.
