Dorothy (Dot) C. Mader was born on August 6, 1933 to Willie and Judith (Pavlicek) Cerny of El Campo, Texas.
She graduated Valedictorian of Cresent High School. She married her high school sweetheart, the late Vince Mader Jr. on October 20, 1952. They settled down in Pierce, Texas where they raised 4 children. Dorothy was a talented seamstress, sewing all of the family's garments. She enjoyed baking delicious candies, pies, kolaches, streudels, noodles and her famous poppy seed cake. She was an avid gardener, and would create beautiful displays of color in her yard.
Dorothy was a member of Wharton Catholic Daughters of the America's Court 1990 and American Legion Auxiliary. She was always the life of the party, and thoroughly enjoyed dancing, all social gatherings, and getting her signature French Twist hairstyle done on a weekly basis as well as her red nails. Dot was a kind, loving, and caring wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.
She worked within A&M's Pest Management Program for many years, then H&R Block. After retirement, she became a loving care giver within her community.
