Dorothy was born on June 4, 1937, in Mt. Hope, Wisconsin, the daughter of Fred and Mabel Updike. On January 14, 1956, she married Thomas Layde, her devoted and loving husband of 67 years.

Dorothy was a loving mom who devoted her life to her children and husband. Her passion was her crafts. She and Tom could be seen at many of the craft fairs throughout the Tri States. She also loved spending time with her family, especially getting together for birthday parties. Dorothy also had a soft spot in her heart for any animal but especially her two cats, Callie and Lacey.

Dorothy is survived by her husband, Tom; a daughter, Cindy; three grandchildren, Jodi (Travis) VanNatta, Scott (Diliana) Layde, and Jeff (Jolene) Layde; a daughter-in-law, Bonnie Layde Burbach; and ten great-grandchildren, Talan, Trevor, Gavin and Grayson VanNatta; Dejanada, Delilah and Ender Layde; and Zoey, Zane and Jerzey Layde, all of whom she loved dearly.

She was preceded in death by her two sons, Francis “Pep” Layde and Tommy Layde, who were the world to her; and two brothers, Billy Updike and Carlos Updike.

The family wishes to thank the staffs of Promedica and MercyOne.
