Wichita - Dorothy Lee Brueggeman

With heavy hearts the family of Dorothy Lee Brueggeman share the passing of the Lord’s good and

faithful servant on Jan 7 th , 2023. Dorothy was born June 1 st , 1935 in Larned, Kansas and married the love

of her life, Duane Brueggeman on Aug 5, 1956 in Hoisington, Kansas.

She faithfully served her family, her church and community throughout her life and her sweet spirit was

felt by everyone who ever knew her. One of her greatest joys was gardening and watching over the

many birds that visited the yard and her beautiful flowerbeds. She enjoyed refinishing antiques and

finding bargains at garage sales, and she took great pride in the many deals she made.

After a long career of truck driving Duane retired and together, they took to the road in an RV so they

could explore the country. They spent time working at RV parks and meeting many new friends. They

developed a lifelong friendship with several couples and thoroughly enjoyed traveling together and

spending time with each other.

After many years of traveling, they settled down in Derby and Mulvane, Kansas and became active and

vital members of their church along with spending quality time with family. Her love for the Lord was

seen in all facets of her life and she demonstrated that love to all that had the pleasure of knowing and

loving her.

She leaves us all with countless wonderful memories and her devoted husband Duane, three children,

JoLynn (Brueggeman) Stephens and husband Michael, Keith Brueggeman, Darryl Brueggeman and wife

Miriam. Granddaughters Cassie Stephens, Callie Boston, Faith Brueggeman and three great

grandchildren. A brother Larry Burgess and wife Suzanne, four nieces and nephews and two generations

of great nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents Firman and Cassie Burgess, sister Carol Jamison, and brother
