Dorothy Louise Prewitt, age 96, of Wheaton, Missouri passed on to her Heavenly home peacefully on November 3, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born November 1, 1929, in Neosho, Missouri to Irl and Ruth Dyer.

Dorothy had fond memories and spoke often of growing up with her five siblings in the Stella and Rocky Comfort area. She graduated from Rocky Comfort High School in 1947. Shortly following graduation, she married Charles Robert “Bob” Prewitt, her husband of 55 years.
