Dorothy Mae “Dot” Schlatman

Dot Schlatman, 88, passed away January 20, 2013 in Merriam, Kansas. From humble beginnings December 27, 1924, our Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Aunt, relative and friend lived through the depression with seven siblings many of whom called her "Momma Dot". She was of superior intelligence, wit, and blessed with a wonderful sense of humor. She spent the majority of her life in St. Louis, Missouri. She was an avid St. Louis Missouri University soccer fan. She encouraged her two children to read, which fundamentally contributed to their successful careers. She turned all who she met into friends. Her smile and sense of humor will be missed by all. She was a devout, converted Catholic with devotion to the Blessed Mother, and St. Francis of Assisi.
