Dorothy Ida Wagner Fredrickson Baker, 93

Dorothy Ida Wagner Fredrickson Baker, 93, formerly of Kalispell, passed away Saturday, May 29, 2010, in Sun City, Ariz. She was born on Dec. 3, 1916, at the J.J. Wagner Farm home near St. John, Wash., to Adrian F. and Ida E. (Steinke) Wagner. Her family soon moved to Galata, near Shelby. As much as Dorothy loved to dance, on Oct. 11, 1936, in Shelby, she married Nils I. Fredrickson, not the best dancer, but the one that made me laugh. They were very active in farming and the Lutheran Church. With their building and management skills, and her nursing degree at the age of 49, they improved many Lutheran rest homes. In 1976, they retired and moved to Sun City. Dorothy said, We sure did make the right choice. They took advantage of all Sun City had to offer. Dorothy loved to dance and did not like to miss an opportunity. She would bowl as much as three times a week and was good enough to take home the prize money. With retirement came more time for sewing. She made her own wardrobe and garments for others. After Nils death in 1983, Dorothy stayed active. On April 20, 1988, Dorothy married Louis Baker in Sun City. She and Louie continued her love for travel. Always an expert at tatting and crocheting, Dorothy and Louie spent many a day in hobby shops searching for just the right piece to create beautifully dressed dolls with hand-crocheted clothing. Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Nils I. Fredrickson; and a brother, Ross A. Wagner, in 2002. She is survived by her husband of 22 years, Louie Baker, of Sun City; a sister, Wilma A. Search, of Gillette, Wyo.; and many nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. Funeral services for Dorothy will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 5, at Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Chapel, with burial to follow at C. E. Conrad Memorial Cemetery. Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home is caring for Dorothy s family. You are invited to go to www.jgfuneralhome.com to offer condolences and view Dorothy s tribute wall.
