Dorothy Katharine Staehling passed away peacefully on October 31, 2019, at the age of 93. She was born in Chicago, Illinois to Fred Ransom and Clara (Sanborn) Kogge. She graduated from Paw Paw, class of 1944 and was a member of the band. Dorothy was a lifelong resident of Paw Paw and held many different jobs, including the Buick garage. She married Chris Staehling on April 15, 1967. They enjoyed their Three Mile Lake residence where their Jeniola Park Cabins were the site of family reunions and returning vacationers. Dorothy was a long time member of the First Presbyterian Church in Paw Paw.
She enjoyed being active in golf, bowling, woodworking and always had a craft project in process. Family celebrations and being with friends was very meaningful to her and her husband who became a very special caregiver to her in her later years.

grandniece Lauren Kogge. Dorothy is survived by nephews Steven (Sumire) Kogge of Hastings, Scott (Rose) Kogge of Grand Rapids, Stuart (Kathie) Kogge of Traverse City, niece Sandra (Gary) Ragan of Wayland, three grandnephews, a grandniece, and sister-in-law, Jeanette Kogge of Hastings.
