Dorothy Marie Witthar, 94, of Jefferson City, died Friday, February 28, 2020, at Villa Marie Skilled Nursing Facility.
She was born on April 12, 1925, in Kansas City, Missouri, the daughter of the late Ludwig Mischlich and Dorothy Effie Schollmeyer Mischlich.
She was married on September 30, 1961, in Kansas City to Robert Lee Witthar who preceded her in death on June 29, 2008.
