Dorothy Ann Lassen

DOROTHY ANN LASSEN (SHERVA), born Jan. 2, 1932 in San Francisco CA, to Victor and Mabel (Heintz) Sherva, passed away peacefully at her home on July 5th, surrounded by loved ones hoping to ease her journey. She was preceded in death by her husband, her high school sweetheart, and her best friend, Bill Lassen. We are sure they are now together again. Beloved mother of Lee Ann Dennis, Gary Lassen, Laurie Huber and daughter in law Sue Lassen. Adored grandmother of Thomas Buck, Nikki Russell, Katie Jones, Max Huber and Drew Lassen. Great Grandmother of Kiley, Cooper and Jada Buck, Emma Jones, Ava and Robert Russell. Dear sister of Donna Andersen and the late Victor Sherva, and aunt to Karen Allison and Earl Andersen. Dorothy lived most of her life in Petaluma, growing up on a chicken ranch, and graduated from Petaluma High School in 1949. She worked for the Petaluma City Schools, and Sonoma State University. She spent her retirement years, along with her husband, travelling the world and enjoying life. She was the rock of the family and will be greatly missed. At her request, there will not be a memorial service. Her ashes will be spread at sea, outside of Bodega Head, in the same place where her husband's ashes were spread. In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice of Petaluma would be appreciated. Family assisted by PARENT-SORENSEN MORTUARY & CREMATORY, Petaluma.
