Dorothy was born on Feb. 4, 1916, one of three daughters born to Nickolas and Anna Clara "Musil" Ewen in Marble Rock. She attended and graduated with the class of 1933 in Marble Rock.
She then attended Waterloo School of Beauty Culture for one year, graduating in 1935. She began her career with Mary Helmer's in Charles City and then owned and operated her own shop in Marble Rock. She later worked as a night cashier for Club Iowa for 4� years and then in the jewelry and cosmetic department at Trowbridge's. While there she lived through the tornado and came upstairs from the basement to find everything gone.
On July 5, 1935, she was united in marriage to Wilber Munshower in Glenville, Minn., and to this union two children were born, Jean Marie and Ron Wilber preceded her in death in 1965.
Four years later she married Eugene Brunsman on Feb. 1, 1969, in Charles City. They moved to the Branson, Mo., area for 17 years and they returned to Charles City in 1982 just prior to his death in 1983.
Dorothy was a charter member of the Forsyth Art Guild. She always enjoyed art and became an artist and acquired her own kiln to fire her china painting. She cooked and baked and tended her garden. She hated making popcorn because of all the memories of making it constantly at Trowbridge's.
She was excellent at crossword puzzles and had the most perfect grammar and vocabulary. She would sit down anytime to play scrabble with the grandchildren and loved to get all dressed up to attend her grandson's band performances and dance with her son. She was also fond of her cats and always had a "Tubby" in the house.
Dorothy will be sadly missed by her two children, Jean Marie Troge and Ron and his wife, Carol Munshower, all of Charles City; her five grandchildren, Philip Troge, Ann Troge, Lisa Elthon, Mike Munshower, and Wendy Ross; her 11 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.

CHARLES CITY - Eunice E. Hicks, 85 of 604 Milwaukee St., Charles City, died Friday morning (Sept. 12, 2008) at Floyd County Memorial Hospital.
Private family services were held at Fullerton Hage Funeral Home. Eunice was cremated at Cremation Services of North Iowa and will be buried with her husband at a later time. No public services are planned in accordance to Eunice and Kenneth's wishes.
Those wishing to share condolences, stories or thoughts may do so on the funeral home Web site at www.Fullertonfh.com.
Eunice lived a full and rich life. She was born on the 23rd of January 1923 in Howard County, Iowa, the daughter of Elbert "Lee" and Theresa "Kruger" Powers. She was a graduate of the Charles City High School, class of 1941.
For the next several years Eunice was a secretary at White Farm. She met the love of her life while roller-skating at Breezy Point. As their love bloomed Kenneth Hicks and Eunice decided to unite in marriage on Feb. 17, 1944, at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Charles City where she had been baptized and confirmed. To this union was born two sons and one daughter.
Kenneth was in the service of his country as a chemist and she followed him from camp to camp until he was shipped overseas during World War II. Following his discharge they made their home at several places in Charles City, then building a home south of Charles City where they lived for 20 years until moving back into town in 1973.
For 25 years they spent their winters in the Rio Grand Valley in Texas. Always ones for travel, they spent weekends with the Tent-N-Trailer group and every summer they took a family vacation, visiting all over the United States which included the Columbia River near Portland, Ore., Yellow Stone National Park, Chicago, and down both coasts of Mexico.
Eunice was very artistic and created folk art painting in acrylics and hand stitching quilts. She found a new love in caring for a herb garden and making her own green tea and watching the butterflies and birds that would gather in her garden.
Eunice always found time to spend with her grandchildren so that her daughter, Barb, could go to work.
Those left to remember her loving care include her husband, Kenneth, of 64 years; her sons, Rodney and his wife, Joyce Hicks, of Soddy Daisy, Tenn.; her daughter, Barbara and her husband, Terry Mork, and son, Martin, and his wife, Sandy Hicks, all of Charles City; seven grandchildren: Dustin, Jason, Shiloh, Mindy, Tyler, Austin and Shelby; and five great- grandchildren.
