Obituary
Lifelong Park resident, Dorothy (Kinderknecht) Waldman, passed away, Thursday, December 3, 2015 at Gove County Medical Center, Quinter. She was 89 years of age. Dorothy was born January 28, 1926, in rural Sheridan County, near Park, to Alex and Anna (Bollig) Kinderknecht.
Dorothy was united in marriage to William Waldman, on September 21, 1948, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Park. They enjoyed 53 years of marriage together, until his death in 2001. Dorothy dedicated a good portion of her life to her church. She was a lifelong member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Altar Society in Park. She was baptized, received her first communion, confirmed, and married in the church. She loved life on the farm with her husband, farming, and raising cattle.
