Dorothy Marie Biessener of Mahtomedi died peacefully on December 28, 2025 at the age of 89, surrounded by her family at Our Lady of Peace Hospice in St. Paul.
Dorothy was born in St. Paul on August 13, 1936. Dorothy is survived by her three children: Steve (Paula), Rick (Vicky), Sue (Chad) Greeder, 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, Daniel W. Johnson and Sophie M. Johnson (Anger), and her six brothers, Don, Jerry, Richard, Butch, Wally and Mike.
Dorothy’s greatest love was spending time with her family at birthday celebrations, school events, college open houses, family weddings and annual summer travel to visit family. Dorothy’s time playing games with friends in her senior living community, and coffee with friends every week, brought her continued happiness.
A Celebration Mass of Dorothy’s life will be held at 10:30am on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at Church of St. Pius X, 3878 Highland Ave, White Bear Lake, with visitation one hour prior to Mass. A luncheon will follow the Mass, and Private Family Interment will follow the luncheon at Lakeview Cemetery in Mahtomedi.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Our Lady of Peace Hospice, and Church of St. Pius X.
