Dorothy Hermens Obituary
We are sad to announce that on September 28, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Dorothy Hermens (Hillsboro, Oregon). Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Dorothy Hermens to show support.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Dorothy may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the echoes of her kindness, the warmth of her embrace, and the light of her enduring love.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, William Hermens and Wilhelmina Hermens (Minnie Bernards); and her siblings, Bertram Hermens (Bud), Muriel Moore Petty, Eugenia Coussens (Jeanne), Anna Schmidlkofer and Frances Kelly. She was also cherished by 15 nieces and nephews, 28 grand nieces and nephews, and 45 great-grand nieces and nephews.
