Local artist passes away

SPOKANE — Mother, friend, artist, devoted Christian, skier, aviator — no matter how one knew her, Dorothy Fowler is remembered as a selfless and inspirational force in the lives of those around her.

Dorothy died Saturday in Spokane after a prolonged battle with multiple myaloma, a form of cancer.

Born Dorothy Morgan in Butt, Mont. on April 10, 1926, she endured considerable adversity in her childhood, including several years in a Butte orphanage, according to her daughter, Deborah Huestis.

Dorothy graduated  from Pacific Grove High School, California, in 1944 and later married William Thompson. The couple started a family in Spokane before the marriage ended 17 years later.
